Griffin Conine hit a big home run Tuesday night, twenty-two years to the day after his dad did the same thing against the same team.

Stop me if you've heard this before, Miami Marlins fans:

The Marlins just won a huge game with massive playoff implications in late September against the Phillies, sparked by a big home run from Conine.

The most recent of these is hardly a mystery. Griffin Conine announced his return to the majors with a bang, homering off of one-time Marlin and long-time curmudgeon David Robertson, 157 days after suffering a dislocated shoulder sliding into second base against this same Phillies team.
