What's on Matt Stairs' Mind at the Plate?
TEAMS: Philadelphia Phillies,  Washington Nationals
PLAYERS: Matt Stairs
John Finger of CSN and Finger Food has a cool piece on the Phillies' most recent folk hero, Mr. Matt Stairs, he of the Moonshot Stairses of Canada. Stairs has been as good with dispensing the great quotes as he has clutch home runs (really unfortunate/hilarious top YouTube hit for posterity to reflect upon), and Finger includes quite a few gems. My favorite is the closer:“I always say I take one swing for the fans and the rest for my teammates.” Dude fits in well here. Like Sal Fasano did...

    haha this is great...When Matt Stairs steps to the plate, there is one thing in mind, hitting the ball out of the yard..He swings at NO breaking balls and once he sees that fastball, he loads up and swings as hard as possible..If you are an opposing team/pitcher and Stairs is at the plate, you should be fined by upper management if you throw a fastball!!

    All or nothing! All he thinks about is how far the ball will go if he makes contact!
