I Bleed Phillies Red

I’ve been a lifelong Phillies fan. Can you tell from the picture? I can remember being about six years old (not sure exactly how old I was in the photo ) listening on my back patio to games between the Phillies and the Cubs. Or the Washington Senators. Or perhaps the Houston Colt 45s. I distinctly remember (Mr. Cub) Ernie Banks’ name being mentioned with reverence. Roberto Clemente, too. And Don Demeter and Johnny Callison for the Phillies.

Well, years have come and gone and another baseball season is upon us. Many players have become coaches or managers or passed on to the dugout in the sky. Many of the stadiums as well as the grass they played on are history. Some of the parks have gone from real to synthetic and back.

I was thinking about this on opening day (Monday). My friend Hugh cut his arm with a utility blade while opening up a bag of fertilizer. Required 10 stitches. He told me about it the next day. He, too, was bleeding Phillies red.

I’m not expecting a whole lot from the Phils this year, but, as long as they finish ahead of the Mets, I’m okay with it. Play ball!
