Bio/Historical NoteAfter a pitching dual left the score tied 0-0 in the bottom of the 10th inning, Kansas City's Justin Maxwell donned these gloves and, with two out, the bases loaded, and a full count, smashed a walk-off grand slam to defeat the Texas Rangers, 4-0. The dramatic September 22nd victory guaranteed the Royals their first winning season in a decade and kept KC in the Wild Card race.
