Unless you are a Brewers or Padres fan you might have missed a bit of MLB History last night.We have a new King of hitting pinch hit homers. Drum roll please.......Matt Stairs climbs to the top of the list. (Sorry I couldn't resist...Matt Stairs climbs...)
The veteran journyman knocked out his 21st pinch hit homer run last night in the Padres win over Milwaukee. Stairs passed Cliff Johnson for most pinch-hit homers in league history. Johnson played from 1972-1986.
The most famous homer Matt Stairs as a pinch-hitter came with two outs in the eighth inning of game 4 of the 2008 National League Championship series. He drilled a two run bomb to help the Phillies beat the Dodgers.
Stairs has 262 home runs in a career that began with the Montreal Expos in 1992.
