Mike Minor was mightily major, and still the Braves lost | Mark Bradley - AJC - The grand slam was A-Rod’s 23rd, tying him with the immortal Yankee Lou Gehrig, so it’s not as if the Braves didn’t have a part in history being made. But most of the postgame talk concerned Minor, of whom Jones said: “This was by far his best start in the major leagues. He was dominant.”
Video: A-Rod hits record 23rd grand slam to tie Gehrig - USATODAY - The New York Yankees third baseman hit his 23rd grand slam, tying Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig. Manny Ramirez has 21, followed by Eddie Murray with 19 and Willie Mays and Robin Ventura with 18. Rodriguez took a 3-2 pitch from Atlanta Braves reliever Jonny Venters and drilled a line drive over the fence in left field at Turner in the eighth inning. The home run tied the game.

This time, he's a 40-year-old golf coach at the University of Oregon just hoping to make the cut. Fourteen years have changed everything and nothing.
