Jimmy Rollins drops in on Phillies, imparts winning mentality

MIAMI — Take it from Jimmy Rollins: Before the Phillies faced down a seven-game deficit with 17 games to play in 2007, or celebrated a World Series championship in 2008, or captured three more division titles in the next three years, they had to learn how to win.

Who better, then, to impart a few lessons to these young Phillies than Rollins, the catalyst from that bygone era?

Rollins joined the Phillies on Tuesday at Marlins Park and will remain with the team through Wednesday night's series finale. And while manager Gabe Kapler extended the invitation a while ago, there's no time quite like a pennant race for Rollins to share some pearls of wisdom.
