It was Pat Burrell's moment in the sun at Citizens Bank Park Friday night. After the festivities ended, the Phillies' bats came alive.
Friday night was Pat Burrell's night to shine. The former Phillies' left fielder was inducted into the team's Wall of Fame prior to the game against the Braves, and his speech had just about everything you could possibly expect in it.

There was a reference to Jason Michaels' arrest some ten years ago, plenty of ribbing for Larry Bowa and Charlie Manuel, and even an expletive spewed.
