The following season, on July 25, 1956, at Forbes Field, Clemente erased a three-run, ninth-inning deficit with a bases-clearing inside-the-park home run,[29] thus becoming the first—and, as yet, only—player in modern Major League history (since 1900) to hit a documented walk-off, inside-the-park grand slam.[30] Pittsburgh-based sportswriter John Steigerwald said that it "may have been done only once in the history of baseball."[31]

Pretty cool. A walk-off, inside the park slam!
