As mentioned a couple of days ago, I had the opportunity to attend a Blue Jays game in Toronto last summer. The above photo is of two former Oakland A’s players (as the A’s have been “my team” since the 70s).

Miguel Tejada and Matt Stairs are shown here in different uniforms talking about their old glory days in Oakland. Stairs had just hit a double and Tejada was playing short. Had Tejada pulled a hidden ball trick he could have tagged Stairs out!

Fast forward to this season and Matt Stairs finds himself on the Phillies. Last night he crushed a ball in Los Angeles for a two run homer to give the Phillies a 3 games to 1 lead over the Dodgers in the National League Championship Series.
