The universally recognized Vibe Captain for the Phillies, Garrett Stubbs has embraced his role as the seldom used back-up for the best catcher in baseball.  It was Stubbs who cultivated the clubhouse post-win playlist last season, and he was typically found in the middle of the champagne-fueled parties following the clinching of a Wild Card spot, the defeat of the Cardinals in the Wild Card Series, and following the wins against the Braves and Padres in the NLDS and NLCS respectively.

Stubbs batted a career high .264 in 2022, making 32 starts behind the plate and appearing in 46 games overall.  He hit a dramatic three-run, walk-off home run against the Marlins on June 16th last season, just as the Phillies fortunes were beginning to turn around.  Stubbs is the kind of guy whose numbers might not be impressive, but he's a fan favorite and someone we'll probably see returning for years to future Alumni Weekends.
