Josh Willingham put the ball from his second grand slam, inscribed with all the details, into an acrylic cube. His bat was staying in circulation for now, even if the Hall of Fame asked for the lumber.
"No, no way," he said. "Well, when I break it, I'll give it to them."
Willingham hit two grand slams and tied a franchise record with eight RBI, powering the Washington Nationals to a 14-6 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday night.
"That's the beautiful thing about baseball," he said. "You come into the game before the game and you never know what could happen."
Willingham became the 13th player to hit two grand slams in a game and first since Boston's Bill Mueller hit one from each side of the plate on July 29, 2003, against Texas. Willingham's eight RBI were the most in Nationals history and tied the franchise mark, accomplished last by Tim Wallach for Montreal against San Diego in 1990
