PHILADELPHIA — Alec Bohm, 6-foot-5 with Adonis hair and a body type best described as a cardboard cutout of Superman, is incredibly soft-spoken. Standing in the dugout after a first-pitch blast in the second inning, with the bedlam it inspired at Citizens Bank Park still echoing around him, he smiled and shrugged sheepishly. In the time it took him to round the bases, the question had become impossible to ignore.
Philadelphia Phillies fans had waited 4,747 days to watch a World Series game at home, and then they waited one more after Game 3 was postponed by rain.
