A-Rod Ties Gehrig for Career Grand Slams

Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees went deep Tuesday night with the bases loaded for his 23rd Grand Slam. A-Rod has now tied the Iron Horse, Lou Gehrig, for the most Grand Slams in Major League history. See it for yourself here:

A-Rod Grand Slam

A-Rod’s blast in the 8th inning tied the score at 4 against the Atlanta Braves — and Yankees would eventually win the game 6-4. The Yanks have always seemed to have the Braves number — ever since the 1996 World Series.

The Yankee third baseman now has 639 career home runs, fifth on the all-time list — and  just 21 behind the legendary Willie Mays.
