Brock Stassi won over Phillies fans during spring training with both his success at the plate and his hardworking mindset that Philadelphia loves oh so dearly. The 2011 33rd-round pick defied the odds and made his way not only to the big-league camp in spring training but to the major-league roster once the team headed back up north.
Upon learning that he had made the major-league roster, Stassi was emotional. When interviewed by reporters, Stassi fought back tears as he talked about his accomplishment.
Video of Stassi’s interview went viral as most major sports outlets covered his story.
