If you don’t get jacked up watching this, you lack a pulse. What a night it was for John Mayberry Jr. It was so good that he became the first player in Major League Baseball history to hit two home runs in extra innings with one being a grand slam.
According to David Vincent from Retrosheet, there are only five other players in the history of the game who have homered twice in extras.

Pretty amazing night. Watch this over and over.
