Alumni Weekend - Bobby Abreu Wall of Fame Ceremony

Hi everybody,

It is Alumni Weekend down at the ballpark and former Phillies outfielder Bobby Abreu was added to the Phillies Wall of Fame in a ceremony before tonight's ballgame against the Chicago White Sox.

Abreu played on the Phillies from 1998-2006 where he was a two time member of the National League All-Star Team in 2004 and 2005.  Abreu also won a Gold Glove Award in 2005 and a Silver Slugger Award in 2006.

During the ceremony, a highlight video of Abreu's career in Philly was played and Jimmy Rollins unveiled Abreu's Wall of Fame Plaque.

Tyler Goeddel Likely Done for the Season

Hi everybody,

Phillies outfielder Tyler Goeddel was injured in Wednesday night's (September 21st) game against the Chicago White Sox.  Phillies skipper Pete Mackanin announced yesterday that Goeddel sustained a concussion when he was hit by a pitch in his helmet while batting in the sixth inning.  With only nine games remaining in the season...it is unlikely that Goeddel will play again this year.
