It's happened twice, once in each league, but by the same player both times.

Default Okay it happened twice but........
An Inside the Park grand Slam by a PITCHER!!!!
Deacon Philippe did it in 1910 and the only time since was when Mel Stottlemyre did it on July 20, 1965. Only reason I know this is because of a scrapbook with a few tickets in it I bought last year..... in researching the tickets it turns out that a pair was from that game!!! I saw somewhere where he said it was the most he ever had to run and he almost didnt make it!!! RIP Mel thanks for all the great memories!

To my knowledge, Willie Mays is the only player to hit his first home run off of a Hall of Fame Pitcher.

On May 28, 1951 Mays, who was 0-12 in his Rookie Season, took Warren Spahn deep for 450 feet.

It would be the first of 18 HRs Mays hit off Spahn--the most off any single pitcher in his career.

Mays mentions his slow start in this video: Leo Durocher encouraged Mays who was feeling down after being hitless in his first 3 games.
After Durocher's encouragement, Mays hit his first HR the next day.https://youtu.be/2SixtuO41L0

By the way, Duke Snider has the record for most HRs off a single pitcher (Robin Roberts) in his career with 19. Musial also had success against Spahn, hitting 17.

Will Clark of the Giants hit his first career home run off of Nolan Ryan.

Interesting.

Maybe its that Mays is the only Hall of Famer to hit his first Home Run off a Hall of Famer. (Or maybe I am just completely wrong)

I believe it was in his 1st career at bat, as well, to dead center at the Astro Dome.

Joaquin Benoit 7 inning save vs the Orioles. Rangers starter was thrown out for trying to beam the lead off batter in retaliation for hit batter a rod in top of first. Next night starter comes in and pitched 2 innings Todd Van Poppel. Joaquin Benoit came in and pitched the last 7 innings for the one and only 7 inning save in MLB history. It was a September game early 2000s.

Gentlemen, for the first 60 feet that was a hell of a pitch.

.
This made me think of Willie's teammate HOF'er Hoyt Wilhelm
who hit a HR in his 1st at bat. Wilhelm eventually played for 21 years...
& never hit another!
