Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux and John Smoltz have appeared in a combined 97 post season games. Only one player has ever homered off all three of them in post season play. Name him.

Not Gonzalez. Castilla has homered off Maddux and Smoltz, but not Glavine.

Hint: The player in question hit the first 3 three post season home runs of his career off those three pitchers.

No, this player was never a Marlin. He has been with two different teams in his career. He hit one of the three homers while a member of his first team and the other two while playing for his second team.

Correct TC:clap2:

Bonds homered off Glavine in the 1992 NLCS when he wa a Pirate. In the 2002 NDLS with the Giants, he homered off John Smoltz in the ninth inning of Game 2 at Turner Field. Then he took Maddux deep in Game 3 of the series at Pac Bell. And his fourth career post season HR came in Game 5 off of Kevin Millwood.

Good job as always.:)
