This day in baseball: Lou Gehrig’s first grand slam

Lou Gehrig hit his first grand slam home run on July 23, 1925.  It would prove to be the difference in the game as the Yankees defeated the Senators 11-7.  Over the course of his seventeen-year career with New York, Gehrig would hit a record-setting 23 grand slams, a mark since broken only by Alex Rodriguez, who finished his careers with 25.
