Philadelphia Phillies Wall of Famer John Kruk has been part of a four-man booth for Peacock during the team’s weekend series against the San Francisco Giants. Also part of that booth? Phillies all-time hits leader Jimmy Rollins, who Kruk paid quite the compliment to in the bottom of the sixth inning.
“There was a bunch of us talking the other day – former players – and we all think that Schmitty [Mike Schmidt] is the best player that’s ever played for the Phillies. We voted Jimmy second, and not a distant second. You’re talking about [Steve] Carlton, Robin Roberts, Jim Bunning, Dick Allen – I mean you’re talking about some of the greats of the game.
