The Washington Nationals celebrate a walk-off grand slam hit by Justin Maxwell in 2009. A grand slam is a home run hit with all three bases occupied by baserunners ("bases loaded"), thereby scoring four runs—the most possible in one play.

With one out, Berkman hits an opposite-field homer to left on a 2–1 pitch to bring the Astros within a run; it is the first time that two grand slams are hit in the same postseason game.

Home runs are often characterized by the number of runners on base at the time.
