From Fred Pfeffer's 3-run blast against Detroit in 1884, through Gabby Hartnett's solo "Homer in the Gloamin' " against the Pirates in 1938, to Jason Heyward's drive with 2 aboard against the Reds.
A batter who has been hit by a pitch takes extra joy in later slugging a home run especially in his very next trip to the plate.
How often have Cubs batters enjoyed such immediate revenge?
..
The Cubs won barely more than 1 of every 3 games during the final 2 months of 2021, going 20-36.
Eight of their wins came in a 9-game stretch from Aug. 31 through Sept. 8.
And the last of those 8.
David Bote's ninth-inning, base-loaded home run that beat the Nationals, 4-3, on Aug. 12, 2018, is unique among Cubs homers.
In fact, there has been only 1 other such "Ultimate Slam" in the entire.
