My First Phillies Team

You can ask anyone who knows me and they will tell you that I bleed red and white pinstripes. They know Chase Utley is my all-time favorite baseball player (I am still mourning his trade to the Dodgers), that Charlie Manuel is my favorite Phillies manager and that the 2007-2011 Phillies teams are my all time favorites. They can also tell you that my love for the game and the Phillies was born during the summer of 1993. It was the blue collar guys known as Macho Row that got me hooked on America’s past time.

My Uncle Robert loves telling the story of when he took me to my first game at the Vet when I was around 4 or 5 years old.
