While watching the Major League Baseball Playoffs unfold, I can't help but think of Cat Power every time Chicago Cubs' pitcher Sean Marshall's name is mentioned.
Why?
Though spelled differently (Chan Marshall), Cat Power shares the same first and last name pronunciation as the Cubs' hurler. As you'll see below, that's about the only thing these two [shawn] Marshalls have in common:

Sean: August 30, 1982
Chan: January 21, 1972
HOMETOWN:
Sean: Richmond, VA
Chan: Atlanta, GA
CLAIM TO FAME:
Sean: Pitcher for the Chicago Cubs
Chan: Indie Singer/Songwriter
WEAPON OF CHOICE:
Sean: Baseball/Glove
Chan: Piano/Guitar

IF THINGS GO BADLY, COULD:
Sean: Give up walk-off homerun
Chan: Walk off stage
