[QUOTE=Hawkeyeop] Current Mets outfielder Fernando Tatis, back when he was good. [/QUOTE] Something I could hardly forget, as it happened to be against my Dodgers, and I was watching the game at the time. If I’m not mistaken, Tatis did it against the same pitcher, in fact. Was it not Chan Ho Park for both slams? ---

[/QUOTE] [It sure was.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernando_Tatis) Talk about taking one for the team – Park was charged with [eleven runs](http://www.baseball-almanac.com/box-scores/boxscore.php?boxid=199904230LAN) in the top of the third, and was finally removed with two outs. Before the outburst, the Dodgers actually had a 2-0 lead. ---

I turned it back on again as Tatis was rounding the basepad the second time. I suppose they can’t all be great memories… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sports-achievements-that-arent-a-big-deal-anymore/453176.md?page=2)
