Reposting from CambodianQuizzer's comment: "A Diamondbacks fan won tickets to a Diamondbacks game (1 in 300,000). Before she went, she was given an offer by a company that she would win 1 million dollars if she could pick the correct player and inning to hit a grand slam. She chose the 6th inning and Jay Bell.

Eventually, the bases were loaded in the sixth inning. The person who came up to bat was Jay Bell. Bell knew that he could win the fan a million dollars. The play? Bell hit a grand slam, and the woman and her family won the money."
