Slender Milwaukee Rightfielder Hank Aaron topped them all with five in six days. Baltimore Oriole First Sacker Jim Gentile poked only two, but both came with the bases full; with the season only half gone, Gentile thus tied the American League record of four grand slams in a full season, one away from the major league mark of five set by Chicago...
