Phillies fans were heart broken when Carlos “Chooch” Ruiz was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers for a pair of prospects and veteran A.J. Ellis. Chooch was the quiet leader of the pitching staff, and an undervalued reason the Phillies won a World Series.
To thank the fans who supported him during his 11 years in the City of Brotherly Love, Chooch tugged at our heartstrings with a billboard on the PA turnpike.
Matt Gelb (against all safety logic) was able to get an excellent picture of the billboard and tweet it out. Don’t snap and drive, kids.
