Question
Good evening, Tom!  Thank you so much for the info that you sent!  Do you think it's likely that there have been in-the-park grand slams since 1999?  Has it just not been recorded or do you think there haven't been any?

Hello ... Can you tell me who hit the last inside-the-park grand slam and when?  Many thanks!
-----Answer-----
Hi Elizabeth,

The inside-the-park grand slam is a pretty rare feat. The last guy to get one was Randy Winn of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on October 3, 1999. There is a list of every player to accomplish this feat at: http://www.baseball-fever.com/showthread.php?threadid=3641

Cheers,
Tom

Answer
Hi Elizabeth,

  Like you I wondered about that . . . it's been a while, hasn't it? But I concluded that such a rare feat would have certainly been recorded on the Net in some source or other had that happened. Since I could find no evidence of anything closer to us in time than 1999, I concluded this information is correct. I almost explained all this to you when I first wrote. Looks like I should have.  :-)
