Horace Clarke and Joe Mauer are the only two players ever to do this three times in the 9th inning? What was it?

Once you said Mauer I knew the answer. I'll give others a chance.
I nearly forgot about Horace Clarke!

Speaking of Horace Clarke he had only 27 home runs in his career. But his first two home runs were Grand Slams. He is the only player to do that.

Yep, and Clarke did all three of his within 30 days in 1970. His were against some pretty good pitchers at that time in Jim Rooker, Sonny Seibert, and Joe Niekro.
These are the kind of baseball oddities I love to read about.
