Card Date: May 9, 1941
Autograph(s): Jim Gentile; Brooks Robison (D) – HOF; Harmon Killebrew (D) – HOF.
Grade Value: V2

Significance of autograph (v-valuable):
What a day … actually what an inning.  A lot of players have hit two grand slams in a game but in ‘one inning’! Jim Gentle hit the ‘jackpot’ twice in one inning … two grand slams.  And the player who walked twice in front of Gentle, HOF Brooks Robinson.  Guess the Twins should have pitched to Brooks.  But maybe they thought having HOF’ Harman ‘Killer’ Killebrew it would be enough fire power to offset Gentile!  Again, an MLB game where an everyday player did something no one else before him had ever done.
Note: Brooks Robinson played all 23 years with the Orioles’ and hold a number of MLB records.
