Lolich was an accomplished minor league hitter — batting .281 in 745 games (his best season, 1972, coming with his hometown Portland Beavers of the Pacific Coast League) — but he collected only 48 Major League hits in 87 games played. With only 4 all-time MLB home runs, Ron is on the very short list of MLB players who have hit a walk-off grand slam home run when trailing by exactly 3 runs. He accomplished the feat on April 22, 1973, to give the Indians an 8–7 win over the Boston Red Sox.
