shane is simply grand

Sometimes high-fives just aren't enough. This mother and son were seated next to me last night. After Shane Victorino's 2nd-inning grand slam ball went into the left field stands, just two sections over from ours, she first high-fived her son, then flung herself into his arms. Victorino's father was also in the stands watching his son's dramatic moment. It was the first grand slam of Vic's career and the first post-season grand slam in Phillies' history. And it came off CC Sabathia. Victorino also doubled twice and stole two bases.
