With Major League Baseball opening day upon us, scuttlebutt on the internet says that new Phillies slugger Nick Castellanos has set down roots just outside the city and purchased a home. That home — while lovely and spacious in its own right — is of particularly interest to readers of this here website, because it was once owned by one Benjamin Simmons.
Tucked away in picturesque Moorestown, New Jersey, the estate recently grabbed headlines when Simmons listed it publicly amidst his widely-publicized trade demand out of Philadelphia.
Crazed Sixers fans immediately sleuthed the listing and discovered all of the Simmons memorabilia adorning the estate, none of which was to be outdone by the gaudy, migraine-inducing, neon green “Simmo the Savage” sign above what appeared to be the embattled guard’s gaming chair.
