On average, how many grand slams were hit per season (each year) between 1998 and 2008?

In Major League Baseball (MLB) between 1998 and 2008, an average of 135.6 grand slams were hit per season. Thirty teams play 162 games each (with 2 teams participating in each game), so that means that a grand slam was hit roughly once every 18 games.

Each MBL team was batting about 34 times per game, and a grand slam was hit about once every 1,219 times at bat.

It might have been helpful to explain what a ‘grand slam’ in baseball is. I thought the author was referring to tennis before I glanced at the image!

A very arcane question for most of the world. I am a baseball fan and I had to take a wild guess.

Unless you come from a baseball background it is very unlikely you would even know what a baseball grand slam was. This question is ridiculously challenging for the overwhelmingly majority of those on this website.

Is it a 7-star question? The way it has been framed, it should be a zero-star question.

The sport in question should have been included in the question. Also an explanation of what a 'grand slam' is should have been given in the explanation.
