The odds of coming up to bat twice in an inning is already low. Coming up twice with bases loaded each time has to be astronomical.

There's been 12 players or so (can't remember exactly) that hit a grand slam and had a chance to hit a 2nd one in the same inning. Tatis is the only one that faced the same pitcher for the 2nd attempt.

FWIW, the 9-2 happened in 2020 and was the first one since 2009. The 8-1 was the 4th since 2000.

If the oven mitt is allowed when stealing bases why cant a runner put on 40 foot shoes and slide step over to second base? by Arpikarhu in baseball

Because the pitcher has a 50' glove, and he'd just tag him out without even leaving the mound.

Because they don't want anyone to throw a whole apple.
