There isn’t a whole lot for Phillies fans to celebrate lately. Most of us are just trying to remember who Jimmy Cordero is and why the Nationals would want him. But today there is something for us to celebrate.
Scott Franzke, the Phillies’ sharp, entertaining, affable play-by-play guy, has signed a five-year contract extension to remain with the team. He’ll keep on calling games side-by-side with Larry Andersen, and the games will remain on WIP through 2017. Philly.com had Franzke’s response.
“My family and I are very excited and I just can’t imagine doing this job anywhere else at this stage of my career,” Franzke said.
