Paul Owens and a story of one of most beloved figures in Phillies history

Here is a story you probably never heard about Paul "The Pope" Owens.

Bob Zalewski passed along this story that was recently published in Olean Times Herald that provides a unique perspective on a true Phillies icon. It also explains why Philadelphia Inquirer writer Sam Carchidi once wrote that Paul Owens was "probably the most respected man to work for the Phillies. Ever."
