I ran across this picture of
Ernie Banks, Ron Santo and
Billy Williams heading for the dugout after a
'Mr. Cub' home run in
(the caption reads) 1969...

...and it got me thinking. That's a trio of
Hall of Famers all scoring on a single
home run (I assume there was no one else on base?).
Every
Cubbie involved in that play is now a
HOFer.
Are there any instances of a
grand slam being hit
(in a standard, non-All Star or whatever game) where all four of the involved players ended up being enshrined in
Cooperstown??
Statistically speaking, I would imagine the
Ruthian Yankees (with a parade of HOFers in the lineup) would've had the best shot of accomplishing this odd feat.
Also, I don't know which pitcher
Banks homered off of...but what if he was also a
Hall of Famer?? That would send this off on another tangent, but I'm trying to avoid rabbit holes today.
