Papale, Stassi meet with similar stories

PHILADELPHIA -- Brock Stassi hasn't seen the movie "Invincible." But he has lived it.

Now, he'll be able to watch it, too.

Outside the Phillies' clubhouse Tuesday, Vince Papale -- the subject of the movie, a former walk-on who made the Philadelphia Eagles in 1976 -- handed Stassi a copy of the DVD.

"To Brock, you are invincible," was scrawled across the cover. On a picture inside the case, Papale wrote, "To Brock, we lived our dream."

After catching a glimpse of the teary-eyed interview Stassi gave in Spring Training after learning he'd made the Phillies, Papale knew he had to meet him.
