Baseball slang for a grand slam — a home run hit with the bases loaded, scoring four runs and sending the crowd into orbit. The grand salami swaps the straightforward 'slam' for a deli-counter flourish, which somehow makes it feel even more satisfying. Sports broadcasters, especially in North America, have embraced the term for its humor and the theatrical way it announces something truly spectacular has just happened on the field.
He unloaded a grand salami in the seventh inning that put the game completely out of reach.
