His pinch-hit home run in the eighth inning of 2008 National League Championship Series#Game 4/Game 4 in the 2008 National League Championship Series off the Los Angeles Dodgers Relief pitcher/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.

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).

The good thing is it's not in the belly of the hamstring. The doctor looked at it twice and the second time he saw it, he was very pleased with what he saw.
