June 25, 1968 At Candlestick Park – San Francisco Giant Bobby Bonds, a 22-year old outfielder just called up by the San Francisco Giants, announced his arrival in grand fashion, clearing the bases in the sixth inning with a homer off Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Jack Purdin. The hit came in Bonds' third career at-bat and made him the first player in 70 years to hit a grand slam in his first major-league game. The only other player to hit a grand slam in his first major league game was Bill Duggleby of the Philadelphia Phillies, who achieved the feat in 1898.
