Kouzmanoff is the third of only four players in history to hit a grand slam in his first major league at-bat, after Bill Duggleby in 1898 and Jeremy Hermida in 2005,[1] and followed by Daniel Nava in 2010.[2] Both Kouzmanoff and Nava accomplished this feat on the first pitch they saw.
Kouzmanoff is of Macedonian descent.[3][4][5]
