This may be the best explanation for Cody Ross hitting two homers off Roy Halladay in game one of the NLCS:

It was just one of those unexplainable postseason things.

On this night, Ross had Halladay’s number just as Bucky Dent once had Mike Torrez’s number and just as Kirk Gibson once had Dennis Eckersley’s number.

It happens.

It’s also one of the things I love about baseball, that the supporting player can be the star, get the big hit when no one expects it.
