UPDATE: Two pitchers have hit postseason grand slams. Both were on the same team in the same year. On October 3, 1970, Baltimore's Mike Cuellar hit one off Minnesota's Jim Perry in Game 1 of the ALCS. Ten days later, Dave McNally hit one in Game 3 of the World Series off Cincinnati's Wayne Granger.

Yeah Bob Gibson is always on top of best pitchers of all time list. Do you agree? He was very popular baseball player and represented his team quite well. For my cousin, he is the ideal and he wants to play the game like him.

Some say Atlanta Brave Tony Cloninger's record of 2 slams in a game by a pitcher will never be equaled, owning to the platooning of pitchers during a game which now common. (relievers) and of course, the DH in the AL. BUT.....Tony accomplished his feat in just the first 4 innings....
After the historic game he dead-panned " How come no one asked me about my pitching today?"

Is Larsen the only pitcher to hit a grand slam and pitch a perfect game in the same season?

On April 11, 2014 San Francisco Giant pitcher, Madison Bumgarner, hit a grand slam against the Colorado Rockies. Then on July 13, 2014 Bumgarner again hit a grand slam, this time against the Arizona Diamondbacks.(In the same game, San Francisco Giant catcher Buster Posey also hit a grand slam, making history for only game where the pitcher and catcher both hit grand slams.)
Additionally, only 2 pitchers have ever hit 2 grand slams in the same season.
