Best part of that grand slam? The game was about to be called due to rain. If it had been one batter later, the Yankees would have just lost. So the ONLY way the Yanks don't lose that game is if Giambi hits the walkoff slam. A two run single, and they lose. A triple, and they tie."Simply put, the passion, interest and tradition surrounding baseball in New York is unmatched."

On June 12th this year Jason Kubel hit a walk off slam against the Red Sox in the 12th inning but the score was tied at 1 at the time.

Originally posted by liamdalyTo add to the impact of Giambi's GS, the Yankees were down by 3 at the time -- which I believe it also true of Ruth's. If I can remember the broadcast of the Giambi game correctly, those were the only two down by 3 walk off grannies ever.
