In 1958, after a game against Pittsburgh, a 19-year-old baseball player named Vada Pinson hit his first Grand Slam HR, securing a 4-0 win for his team, the Reds, with the help of Hal Jeffcoat. However, Vada later described this milestone as a curse that affected his performance. He began to think of himself as a power hitter, which caused his average to suffer. As a result, he was sent down to Seattle, where he played for the rest of the season and hit an impressive 346 average. Vada returned to the Reds in 1959 as the starting CF.
