In 1999, Chan Ho Park was left in long enough to give up a grand slam home run to Fernando Tatis, have the Cardinals bat around in the inning and Tatis come up again with the bases loaded. Tatis hit another grand slam. Not only was Tatis the first player to hit 2 grand slams in 1 inning, Park was the first pitcher in over a century to give up 2 grand slams in 1 inning, let alone to the same player. Leaving a starting pitcher in to face all of an 11-run inning sounds like a good way to ruin his psyche.
