Phillies: Journeyman Phil Gosselin living the dream with his hometown team

Hiding in the shadows has been Phil Gosselin, a Philadelphia local that has quietly found his way into the ever-so-important role of utility infielder on his hometown team.

The 30-year-old from the Philadelphia suburb of West Chester, Pennsylvania played his high school baseball at Malvern Prep in Chester County, a short distance away from Citizens Bank Park.
