Only God knows why I didn't make it with the Mets, but yes, in a short period of time, I got the opportunity with the Phillies. ↗

The game jostled back and forth, and then came the final inning. Some player named Casey came to bat, like his teammates, looking like a rock. Lightning ripped through the air as rain came down in sheets. The scoreboard said the horses were beating the rocks by two points, but there were two men on base. If Casey hit a homerun, the rocks would beat the horses. If not, too bad for the rocks. This man, Ben, and the two people with him looked horrified as this Casey came to bat. They had red shirts with horses painted on them. They jumped up and down for joy when they saw the final pitch, and Casey sulking back to the dugout. He had struck out. After the game, the four hiked back to a very small car. ↗

Rooting is following, and I don't do that, but I'd like to see the Phillies win because I love Philadelphia. ↗

I want to be a starter again, I would really enjoy playing for the Phillies again, but my first consideration in making my decision is finding a circumstance that is right for me. I want to play for the Phillies again, but I also wouldn't mind joining a team I've never played with before. ↗

I could ask the Phillies to keep me on to add to my statistics, but my love for the game won't let me do that. ↗

Pete Rose came over to the Phillies in '79 and he became the catalyst that helped us to put it all together. ↗
