Rockin' Robin was not credited with a Grand Slam because he abandoned his effort to reach any base past first. He hit the ball out of the park for a walk off Grand Slam and was mobbed by his teammates after he reached first. It was a thrilling play and made many of us scratch our heads about what the official scorer would do. Of course, they got it right - you must touch all of the bases in order to be credited with a homerun.
