Cubs rookie does something that was last done 8 decades ago by a golfer (Yep, a GOLFER)

Jon DurrDavid Bote of the Chicago Cubs celebrates as he rounds the bases after hitting a walk-off grand slam against the Washington Nationals at Wrigley Field on August 12, 2018 in Chicago, Illinois.

But baseball fans were surprised to learn just how rare of a feat it was. And who accomplished it last.
