My Take
A grand slam in your first professional at-bat sounds like something an editor would cut. Norihiro Komada did it on 10 April 1983 and remains the only man in Japanese professional baseball to have done it. Thirteen career grand slams later, Mr. Grand Slam had turned an accident into a signature. A 191 cm first baseman from tiny Miyake in Nara, he made luck look like a plan.
