James Spence Authentication (JSA) certifies the signature as genuine, and the COA accompanying this 16x20 photo confirms its authenticity for every Phillies fan, Philadelphia sports memorabilia collector, and baseball history enthusiast who brings it home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e⚾ Matt Stairs was born February 27, 1968, in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada — a man from the Maritime provinces of eastern Canada who spent 19 professional baseball seasons accumulating one of the most improbable and celebrated careers in the history of the designated hitter role. He played for more MLB franchises than nearly any other player of his era, moving from team to team as the best professional pinch-hitter and left-handed power bat available, and in the final chapter of his career arrived in Philadelphia as exactly the kind of experienced veteran role player that championship teams keep on their rosters for moments exactly like the one he delivered on October 13, 2008.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e⚾ The 2008 NLCS between the Philadelphia Phillies and Los Angeles Dodgers had the entire city of Philadelphia gripped in the kind of October baseball attention that the region hadn't fully experienced since the 1993 Phillies run and that hadn't ended in a championship since 1980. In Game 4, with the Phillies holding a series lead and the Dodgers trying to claw back into it, Stairs stepped in against closer Jonathan Broxton in the 8th inning with two runners on base. What followed is described in Philadelphia sports lore as the Moon Shot — a two-run home run that left the bat with the kind of trajectory and distance that makes a stadium fall silent for half a second before erupting into the kind of noise that only comes when a city knows it's about to go to the World Series. The Phillies won the game 8-5, won the NLCS, and then won the 2008 World Series — the first Philadelphia World Series championship in 28 years. This signed photo with the Moon Shot inscription is the artifact of that night. Condition: NOS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e⚾ Matt Stairs. Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada.
