Four years ago Thursday, Cubs wide receiver Miguel Montero sent Wrigley Field into a frenzy, triggering an eight-inning grand slam in NLCS opener against the Dodgers
While Cubs fans will always remember that home run, the team’s YouTube channel created a cool video detailing the moment
Montero, who had back pain at the time, says in the video he had two herniated discs and an epidural the day before the game Coaches treated him throughout the game before his batting
« I couldn’t even walk, but when I entered the box I didn’t feel anything, » Montero said in the video
With two strikeouts in the eighth inning and Aroldis Chapman’s place closer to the next roster, the Dodgers intentionally pushed Chris Coghlan to charge the bases According to Montero, a left-handed hitter, the plan was for him to be announced as pinch hitter
If the Dodgers brought in a southpaw to take on Montero, Willson Contreras would strike instead But the Dodgers are stuck with right-hander Joe Blanton and the rest is history Montero’s blast gave the Cubs a 7-inch lead -3 in a possible 8-4 win, the first of four to win their first pennant since 1945
