There are few moments in baseball more exciting than a walk-off hit. Fewer still that happen to be a grand slam in extra innings. Take that, sprinkle in a capacity crowd of 45,936, and add in that it's against your crosstown rival, and you have one unforgettable moment.
That's exactly what happened on this date in 2001. Tied in the 10th inning at 3 with two outs and the bases juiced, Carlos Lee sent one deep into the night to send the crowd home happy.
Today's Sporcle asks you to name the players involved in that game on both teams. That's 29 names total, how many can you get? Good luck!
