Grand Salami!

Here's a look at the same kind of swing Miguel Montero used to crush the Dodgers in Saturday night's opener of the NLCS. Talk about being in rare company: it was just the third pinch-hit grand slam in post-season history! Perhaps it's the nature of coming off the bench, but the first two to do so were far from immortals... Mark Lewis of the 1995 Reds and Ricky Ledee of the '99 Yankees.
Now Miguel Montero, the Cubs veteran catcher, joins them after snapping a three-all tie and causing Wrigley Field to vibrate so strongly that some on hand said it felt like an earthquake.
Seeing it on TV, it was clear that Montero knew the ball was gone the moment it left the bat. And the Wrigley faithful -- with celebs such as Bill Murray and John Cusack on hand -- erupted in joy. To paraphrase the late What's My Line host John Charles Daly, "One down and seven to go."
