IT S GRAND SALAMI TIME Alex Liddi hit the first grand slam of his Major League career Wednesday in the Mariners 5-3 win over the Rangers...Liddi, a native of Sanremo, Italy, is now tied with Reno Bertoia, a utility infielder who played 10 seasons in the American League from 1953 through 1962, for the Major League record for career grand slams by Italian-born players...of course, Bertoia (27 home runs) and Liddi (6) are the only players born in Italy who ve hit ML homers.
