BAM! Gary "Sarge" Matthews has provided color commentary on the Phillies' TV broadcasts since 2007.Wearing #34, Sarge played with the Phillies from 1981 until 1983. He was the MVP of the 1983 NLCS, hitting .429 with 3 home runs against the Los Angeles Dodgers. In March 1984, along with Bob Dernier and Porfi Altamirano, Sarge was traded to the Chicago Cubs for Bill Campbell and Mike Diaz. (Yet another miserable Phillies trade with the Cubs.) In 1984, he finished 5th in the NL MVP voting while leading the Cubs' to the NL East title.
Sarge has designed his own collection of hats, which are now available for sale at Citizens Bank Park. I will be purchasing several of these hats for my Dad's Father's Day gift this year.
Make sure you get the right size, I lan to use them as flower pots for the "new" deck...also to keep my trucks in.
