It’s been an emotionally exhausting weekend in South Philly. Shane Victorino was honored last night when he retired as a Phillie. Tonight, prior to the game, Roy Halladay went onto the Wall of Fame. When Doc’s plaque was unveiled by Carlos Ruiz, he blessed it with a kiss. Also, Jamie Moyer has a pony tail.
With the 2008 alumni in town, the Phillies heating up as they enter a full-on pennant race, and emotions running high, the vibe for which Roy Halladay was known when he would take the mound at Citizens Bank Park could be felt in the form of Zach Eflin, putting down Fish at a season-high pace.
