> You don't get any RBI's for a walk.  Walked in runs are not RBI's.

Oh yes you do.  For evidence, see the box score of Sunday's Mets-Dodgers game.
John Christensen got an RBI for walking with the bases loaded.  (They lost.)

The problem with the walk and grand slam scenario is that
while it is only 1 legal AB, it is 2 legal plate appearances, and in an update
to the statement of the problem, the originator says that the 5 RBIs occur
in a single plate appearance.
