Saturday morning, Jimmy Rollins spent over two hours signing autographs and taking pictures with Philadelphia Phillies fans at Dynasty Sports in the Oxford Valley Mall. Of the over 200 fans that he spoke with, at least half of them thanked him for helping to win the club’s second World Series title in 2008. Others talked about how special the team’s five-year run between 2007 and 2011 – widely considered to be the most successful period in franchise history – was to them.
Does Rollins, now 39, ever get tired of being thanked for being a key member in the greatest era the Phillies have ever had?
