Editing Home run (section)

==Number of runs batted in==
Home runs are often characterized by the number of runners on base at the time. A home run hit with the bases empty is never called a "one-run homer", but rather a '''solo home run''', '''solo homer''', or "solo shot". With one runner on base, two runs score (the base-runner and the batter), and thus the home run is often called a '''two-run homer''' or '''two-run shot'''. Similarly, a home run with two runners on base is a '''three-run homer''' or '''three-run shot'''.

The term "four-run homer" is never used. Instead, it's called a "grand slam". Hitting a grand slam is the best possible result for the batter's turn at bat and the worst possible result for the pitcher and his team.

===Grand slam===
{{Main|Grand slam (baseball)}}
A grand slam occurs when the bases are "loaded" (that is, base runners are standing at first, second, and third base) and the batter hits a home run. According to ''The Dickson Baseball Dictionary'', the term originated in the card game of [[contract bridge]]. An '''inside-the-park grand slam''' is a grand slam that is also an [[inside-the-park home run]], a home run without the ball leaving the field, and it is very rare, due to the relative rarity of loading the bases along with the significant rarity (nowadays) of inside-the-park home runs.

On July 25, 1956, [[Roberto Clemente]] became the only MLB player to have ever scored a walk-off inside-the-park grand slam in a 9–8 [[Pittsburgh Pirates]] win over the [[Chicago Cubs]], at [[Forbes Field]].

On April 23, 1999, [[Fernando Tatís|Fernando Tatís Sr.]] made history by hitting two grand slams in one inning, both against [[Chan Ho Park]] of the Los Angeles Dodgers. With this feat, Tatís also set a Major League record with 8 RBI in one inning.

On July 29, 2003, against the Texas Rangers, [[Bill Mueller]] of the [[Boston Red Sox]] became the only player in major league history to hit two grand slams in one game from opposite sides of the plate; he hit three home runs in that game, and his two grand slams were in consecutive at-bats.

On August 25, 2011, the New York Yankees became the first team to hit three grand slams in one game vs the Oakland A's. The Yankees eventually won the game 22–9, after trailing 7–1.

On October 25th, 2024, [[Freddie Freeman]] made history by hitting a walk-off grand slam in Game 1 of the [[World Series]], leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to win against the New York Yankees 3-6 in the bottom of the 10th inning. Freeman is the only player in MLB history to do so in the World Series.
