The best word I can use to describe Friday’s Phillies home opener against the Nationals is….freezing! It was drizzly, raining and bone-chilling cold. I managed to brave the weather long enough to get some photos:
On Saturday, the Phillies held an Open House for select Season Ticket Holders to view the new protective netting. Prior to this, I emailed my Season Ticket rep to express my displeasure that the Phillies waited until AFTER most season…
The Phillies did right by Ryan Howard on Sunday by honoring his 13 years in Philadelphia before the final game of the season. Everyone entering the stadium received Howard’s head on a stick for full participation in the ceremony. Mike Schmidt also made an appearance.
