Good morning!
Jake Burger's grand slam to seal a sweep over the Tigers was the first walkoff grand slam since 2014 (and ninth in team history), and it was also the first grand slam hit by a White Sox this season. Entering Thursday evening, the White Sox were the 24th team to record a grand slam this season. They've got a ways to go to catch the MLB team lead, though: the Dodgers have already hit seven (!).
As you've no doubt sussed out by now, grand slams are what today’s Sporcle is all about: which players since 1990 have hit at least one grand slam in a season? There are 130 entries: how many can you name? Good luck!
