TORONTO -- Rhys Hoskins and Tommy Hunter found themselves in a bit of a jam this spring.
Hoskins' college buddies at Sacramento State long ago nicknamed him "Big Fella," but Hunter has had the nickname even longer. So when it came time to choose nicknames for the back of their Players' Weekend jerseys, they compromised, even though, as Hunter correctly pointed out, "I was on the earth first."
Hoskins took "Big Fella." Hunter chose "Bigger Fella."
Players' Weekend 2018: Phillies "He can be the Big Fella," Hunter said before Friday night's series opener against the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre.
