Baltimore Orioles Hall of Fame catcher CHRIS HOILES will appear in-store on Saturday, August, 27th. Chris will greet fans and sign autographs from Noon until 1pm.
Chris Hoiles was the O's hard-hitting catcher for ten seasons and he has the 9th best slugging percentage (.467) in Orioles history. On May 17, 1996, Hoiles joined the list of 23 major league players who have hit an ultimate grand slam when he hit a base-clearing round tripper in the bottom of the ninth with the Baltimore Orioles down by three runs against the Seattle Mariners. But besides being simply an "ultimate" grand slam, Hoiles' homer may be considered the "most ultimate" grand slam of all time, as he hit his home run on a full 3-2 count with 2 outs, the only time in major league history this feat has ever been recorded. He then became the 9th major league player to hit 2 grand slam home runs in one game against Cleveland during the 1998 season.
Advance autograph tickets for the Chris Hoiles signing will go on sale at 10am on Monday, August 8th. Ticket pricing is $15 for a regular item or $20 for a bat or jersey. Chris has always been a fan favorite and has kept an interest in local baseball since retiring after the 1998 season. This is a great chance to meet an Oriole who played on the winning teams of the late 90's.
