Description: For sale is a truly unique and remarkable collectible from the September 11, 2020 Oakland Athletics versus Texas Rangers game played at Globe Life Field. Former Athletics and current Atlanta Braves slugger, Matt Olson clubbed this precise ball for a grand slam home run in the first inning off Rangers starter Luis Garcia. The grand slam scored Tommy LaStella, Marcus Semien and Ramon Laureano and was also the difference in the 10-6 Oakland victory.
