When Kearns

Hit that Grand Slam early in his career, I can’t remember if it was his first homerun or just early in his career when the Reds we playing well or what, but what I do remember is him coming back to the dugout and after everyone highfived him and he took his helmet off, and Griffey grabbed him by both of his gigantic ears. I will never forget how big those things were.
