Cole Hamels Pitched First Game At Citizens Bank Park Since Being Traded

Classy move...

Hi everybody,

Former Phillies starting pitcher Cole Hamels pitched in Citizens Bank Park last Wednesday (August 14th) for the first time since being traded to the Texas Rangers in July 2015.  Although Hamels (now pitching for the Chicago Cubs) had a rough outing he was treated with a standing ovation by the Philly fans.

In an extremely classy move, Hamels also wore the Phils commemorative patch honoring the late David Montgomery...who passed away on May 8th. When asked about potentially being fined for wearing it, Hamels said that Montgomery had meant a lot to him and his family and didn't care if he was fined.

Hamels is a free agent at the end of this season and I hope the Phils sign him as a free agent in the offseason.  Would love to see him finish his career as a Phillie.

Talk to you soon,
Little Chase
