One of these years, I'm going to remember to schedule a trip to catch one or more of the Phillies games at PNC Park. This year, it didn't work for several reasons. But I really do want to make it to a Fightins - Pirates game at PNC Park in the coming years.
inches from a grand slam, but Harper ties the game in the top of the 9th

top of the 10th. Fightins send 8 to bat, and score 3, to take an 11-8 lead

Schwarber has 207 home runs in his 5th year as a Philly. He’s 29 away from tying Babe Ruth as the person with the most home runs in his first 5 seasons with a club. McGwire is second at 220. Kiner holds the record for the 1st 5 seasons of a career
Here’s the list:

He buried that. 457 feet.
Harper filling stat sheets for the next 2-3 years will go a long way to cementing the HOF. Doesn’t even have to go crazy with an MVP year. He’s likely already in, but he needs to take any suspense out of it by piling on the counting stats. Crazy that he’s somehow younger than Judge given that this is his 15th season.
Mattingly's day off gives Wathans chance to join select club
Dusty Wathan filled in as manager for Philadelphia's 6-0 win over Pittsburgh on Saturday while Don Mattingly attended his son Trevor's graduation from Purdue University.

Hmmm.. Seems like some shade being thrown at Dombrowski with Harper being classified as elite.
