2017 Grandstand Reading Fightin Phils Update #3 |
On February 10th, pitcher Steve Geltz was suspended for 100 games following a third positive test for a drug of abuse. A few days later, on February 12th, catcher Eric Fryer announced his retirement following a seven-year big league career. (So much for the series of Geltz/Steve Jeltz combo cards I had planned throughout the season . . . )
Catcher Nick Rickles was added to the non-roster invitee list a day after Fryer's announcement. Rickles has played six professional seasons within the A's, Nationals and Phillies organizations. I have three of his baseball cards in my collection, all from 2017 Reading Fightin Phils team sets.
