Since the Toronto Blue Jays' Addison Barger hit a grand slam in the World Series, Denny's will give away free breakfasts to Denny’s Rewards members.
Addison Barger’s historic pinch-hit grand slam powered the Blue Jays to a stunning 11-4 win over the Dodgers in Game 1 of the World Series.
Barger's swing was, remarkably, the first pinch-hit grand slam in the 122-year history of the competition. It served as the centerpiece of a nine-run inning that blew open a tie game. The 25-year-old Bellevue, Wash., native owns 28 home runs in his two-year career. None has been a grand slam.
It is no exaggeration to say the most important swing of the bat by a Mariner in 30 years happened on Friday night.
