Mildly interesting

That stat’s almost irrelevant without knowing the number of opportunities, which is completely dependent on the batters before you.
By comparison, he had more home runs and significantly more RBIs in 1985, but 0 grand slams.

I don't see how you slice up that stat where it's not remarkable somehow. Here is more context for the six HR season:
With the bases loaded Don was 9-for-19 (.474 BA) in 21 plate appearances, and in addition to his six grand slams had two singles, a double, a pair of sacrifice flies and 33 RBIs. Prior to 1987, he was just 12-for-47 (.255 BA) with just one extra-base hit in career bases-loaded situations.
So he probably had around 150 plate appearances with bases loaded over his career, if he averaged the same in the seasons after the huge one as he did in the seasons prior.
