Good morning!
We're only into the first couple of days of May and the White Sox have already hit three grand slams on the young season. By comparison the three previous iterations of the White Sox hit three grand slams combined across 2023-2025. That's pretty fun!
Looking across MLB: entering play Friday evening, the White Sox are one of sixteen teams to have hit at least one grand slam and have tallied second-most, trailing only the Orioles who have four. As you've no doubt determined, grand slams are what today’s Sporcle is all about: which Sox players since 1990 have hit at least one grand slam in a season? There are 135 entries: how many can you name? Good luck!
