MY BIGGEST THRILL IN BASEBALL
"Next to getting into the big leagues, my biggest thrill was my first major league home run. It was in my fifth game, the first of a three-game series with the Dodgers at Ebbets Field.
Two were out when Bobby Adams singled. Then Bob Borkowski singled and went to second on a bad throw. 'Big Klu' [Ted Kluszewski] was intentionally passed to load the bases. I came up and hit the second pitch in the upper left field stands.
My first home run in the majors was a grand slam."
-Jim Greengrass, 1955 Bowman No. 49
