Hall of Game: Robin Ventura

Only player to hit one grand slam during each end of a double-header (May 20, 1999)

Hit a "Grand Slam Single" in the 1999 NLCS against the Atlanta Braves

Hit 18 career grand slams, placing him in a tie with Willie McCovey for 5th on the all-time list, behind Lou Gehrig (23), Manny Ramírez (21), Alex Rodriguez (20), and Eddie Murray (19). 6.1% of his career home runs were grand slams, the highest ratio of any player with at least 250 career home runs.

Robin Ventura is the man. I mean, look at the above image. He even allowed an aging Nolan Ryan to kick his ass so an old man could feel good about himself. That is class.

More than that, he played the game well and played it well for a long time. He had many singular moments, and some incredible days. (Two grand slams in one game!)

He is just under the three hundred home run threshold, which used to be automatic induction, and his core numbers are just a little too low for the HoF committee to include him.

So, let me offer my support for Robin Ventura as a member of the Hall of Game.
