Rhys Hoskins is clutch. Last night's three run Homer to win it is an example of that.

It was Hoskins’ 10th homer this season. No Phillies player had hit 10 homers through the team’s first 31 games since Chase Utley (30th game) and Raul Ibanez (31st game) in 2009. It was Hoskins’ 62nd homer since his big league debut on Aug. 10, 2017. Nobody has more in the National League. Only Oakland’s Khris Davis (70) and Boston’s J.D. Martinez (70) have hit more homers during that span overall.

Thirty-four of Hoskins’ 62 career homers (54.8 percent) have either tied the game or given the Phillies the lead.

Only Davis (36) has more since Hoskins' debut.

Expect that to continue.

 Well, you can't use the Patriot way and let the air out of the baseball, so he'll have to learn to pitch differently.

Here's a fun/nostagic article by Bob Ryan which might (I hope) appeal to the chronilogically advantaged residents of Elba.

It resonated with me.

https://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2019/05/04/how-did-get-sports-fans-are-back-then-was-because-books/orvkzjR9eR9rDAOxIyBsgP/story.html#comment-91338209

How did we do it?

I mean, how did we, shall we say, “seasoned” sports fans get this way? How did we get to be the sports fans we are? After all, we didn’t have ESPN. We didn’t have sports talk radio. Most people didn’t get to see much on TV at all.

For me Sport Magazine was my "go to" by the time I was 9 or 10. I loved that magazine as a kid.
