Former Phillies starting pitcher Roy Oswalt announced his retirement yesterday. Oswalt had a 13-year career that spanned four teams. He played for 9+ seasons with the Houston Astros before being traded to the Phillies in July of 2010. He remained with the Phils until the end of the 2011 season and was a part of the Four Aces along with Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels. He spent his final two seasons with the Texas Rangers (2012) and Colorado Rockies (2013).
One of my favorite memories of Oswalt was an extra innings game in late 2010. Due to a lack of players left available, Oswalt was forced to play left field in the top of the 15th inning. He received loud cheers and even caught a ball hit out to him. He seemed to be enjoying himself out there as evidenced by the picture above. Good luck in the future Roy Oswalt....I enjoyed watching you pitch in Philly!
