PHILADELPHIA -- The Flyin' Hawaiian stayed true to his roots and wore a pineapple print shirt on Friday at Citizens Bank Park. Shane Victorino officially retired with the Phillies to stay true to his professional baseball roots, too.
"This organization gave me a chance as a young 25-year-old kid," Victorino said before an emotional pregame ceremony. "To think back then I got the opportunity to come to a city that I didn't really know much about other than it was cold, Rocky was here and it was hard-working, same kind of DNA I had back home. It was a matter of going out there and doing it, and lucky for us, it all worked out.
