Matt Stairs

Matthew Wade Stairs (born February 27, 1968) is a Canadian former professional baseball outfielder, first baseman, designated hitter, and pinch hitter who holds the record for most pinch-hit home runs in Major League history with 23.〔(" Stairs sets record for pinch hit home runs" ) ''Reuters'', August 22, 2010, accessed June 18, 2013.〕 His pinch-hit home run in the eighth inning of Game 4 in the 2008 National League Championship Series off the Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Jonathan Broxton was called "one of the most memorable home runs in Phillies history" by MLB sportswriter Todd Zolecki in his May 11, 2009 MLB.com article titled ''Revisiting top 10 moments of '08 NLCS.''〔Zolecki, Todd ("Revisiting top 10 moments of '08 NLCS" ), MLB.com 05/11/09', accessed June 18, 2013.〕
In his career, Stairs played for more major-league teams than any position player in major league history (12 (technically 13 teams but 12 franchises as he played for the Montreal Expos and Washington Nationals); Octavio Dotel holds the record for pitchers and all players at 13).〔(Octavio Dotel knows all about changing places – ESPN ). Espn.go.com (March 13, 2012).〕
He was the second Canadian-born player ever to hit more than thirty-five home runs in a season and only the second to hit more than 25 home runs and drive in more than 100 runs in back-to-back seasons. He ranks either first or second in power hitting categories for Canadian major leaguers. Stairs also holds the all-time MLB record of home runs hit as a pinch-hitter with 23. His ability to pinch hit has made him a valuable asset to several teams and earned him the nickname "Matt Stairs – Professional Hitter". Stairs, Larry Walker, Justin Morneau and Jason Bay are the only Canadian MLB players to hit at least 200 career home runs.〔(Canadian player statistics from ). Baseball Reference.〕 On February 4, 2015, Stairs was elected to the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame.
==Early life==
Growing up in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Stairs showed athletic ability at an early age, playing Beaver League baseball a year before his age eligibility and excelling in hockey. After playing Bantam & Midget baseball, at age 16 and 17, he played for the local Marysville Royals of the New Brunswick Senior Baseball League and was voted "Rookie of The Year" in 1984 and the league's Most Valuable Player in 1985. He was also named Nova Scotia Senior Baseball League MVP in 1987 and '88 while playing for the Fredericton Schooners.
He attended the National Baseball Institute (NBI) in Vancouver, British Columbia for one year and played for Canada at the 1987 World Amateur Championships in Italy where he was named to the "World All-Star" team. In 1988, he joined the Canadian Junior National team after graduating from Fredericton High School. From there he went on to play for the Canadian Olympic Team at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea.
