At the Ballpark: This is one of my favorite weekends all season at the ballpark, as the Phillies celebrate their annual Alumni Weekend. On Saturday night, Bobby Abreu will be inducted into the Phillies Wall of Fame, with all fans receiving an Abreu print. On Sunday, there will be a pre-game 10th anniversary salute to the 2009 National League Champion team and all fans will receive a special photo card pack. 30 players and coaches from the 2009 team are scheduled to appear at the ceremony.

"The Jay of Johnstone", as Harry Kalas referred to him.
ReplyDeleteWhile playing right field for the Phillies, Jay once picked a Pirate runner off of FIRST BASE, taking a snap throw from catcher Johnny Oates!
SMH about Abreu on the WoF. (I guess if Mike Lieberthal's there, Abreu can be also.)
