Cubs Postseason History 101: Miguel Montero's grand slam in the bottom of the eighth of Game 1 — the first pinch-hit postseason grand slam and the third postseason grand slam in MLB history — was the first one hit by a Cubs player during the postseason in Wrigley Field. But Montero's grand slam wasn't the first time a Cubs player hit one in the postseason. Aramis Ramirez launched a grand slam against the Florida Marlins in Game 4 of the 2003 NLCS. Any self-respecting Cubs fan knows how that series ended.
