Notes

1. Mark McGwire led the American League in home runs in 1987 and 1996. He led the National League in 1998 and 1999. In 1997, he led Major League Baseball in home runs, but led neither the American or National League, as his season was split between the Oakland Athletics and St. Louis Cardinals. If that season had been included, then he was a League Leader for five seasons, four of which were in succession.
2. Delahanty and Horner are the only players to hit four home runs in a game as a part of a losing effort.^[49][50]
3. Game 2 of a doubleheader.
4. Tony Cloninger is unique on this list as the only pitcher.
5. Fernando Tatís is the only player to hit his two grand slam home runs in the same inning; doing so in the third inning off of Chan Ho Park. This also establishes the Major League record for runs batted in by a player in one inning (8).
6. Nomar Garciaparra is the only player to do this at home.
7. Bill Mueller is the only player to accomplish this by hitting each grand slam from different sides of the plate.
