I know I'm not the only old Astros fan here so maybe someone else will remember this.
In the summer of '69 the Astros hit two grand slams in the same inning against the Mets. Yeah, the amazing ones. Denis Mienke and Jimmy Wynn hit them.
But that wasn't strangest thing about that game, or even that inning. Fred Gladding was a relief pitcher for Houston who finished his career with the lowest non-zero career batting average in mlb history (a 0.061 average, one hit in 61 at bats). His one hit came in that inning.
