"  Bottom of the ninth; Indians 4, Angels 2; bases loaded, one out I had hit walk-off homers before but never a walk-off grand slam -- not in Little League, Babe Ruth, nowhere. I&amp;#039;m thinking about getting a ball into the outfield to get a run in, not trying to do too much. When you&amp;#039;re standing in that batter&amp;#039;s box, locked in the way I was, you can see the spin, the rotation, the seams on the baseball. And you can see how the ball looks coming off the bat. I could see backspin as soon as I made contact, so I wasn&amp;#039;t worried about it going foul. I knew it was going out. Kirby Puckett always used to tell me, &amp;quot;A hanging breaking ball is a gift from God. Don&amp;#039;t miss your blessing.&amp;quot; I was thinking about Kirby, with a big smile, when I was running the bases. When I rounded third, I saw all the guys waiting for me at the plate. I took my leap and fell into that crowd of players, and it was awesome. After I did my interview on the field, I came to the clubhouse and they were waiting for me, dousing me with beer and water. I slid on the ground and pretended like I was swimming. -As told to Lyle Spencer, MLB.COM  Watch Torii Hunter hit the walk-off grand slam against Joe Borowski at esquire.com/wifl08.
