And finally …

The line in the box score from NLCS Game 5 Friday was priceless for trivia geeks. HR: Smith (1, 6th inning off Smith). For the first time in the expansion era (since 1961) a batter homered off a pitcher with the same name. Heck, for the first time in postseason history, a player batted against a pitcher with the same name. Will Smith (Dodgers) off Will Smith (Braves). Adding import to coincidence, his three run-homer erased a 2-1 Dodgers deficit.
