The only other player with a grand slam in first major league at-bat was pitcher William "Frosty Bill" Duggleby, who did it for Philadelphia at home against the New York Giants in the second inning on April 21, 1898, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Duggleby, who started that game, hit only five other homers in the remainder of a career that ended in 1907.
Go here to read about "Frosty Bill's" illustrius career. If things go as scheduled, Matt Stairs great, great, great grandson will accomplish this feat next sometime in the year 2112.
