Phillies Sign Starting Pitcher Jake Arrieta

Hi everybody,

The Phillies signed starting pitcher and 2015 NL Cy Young Award winner Jake Arrieta to a 3-year contract this past Sunday (March 11th).  The deal is reportedly worth $75 million.  The Phils now have another top notch starting pitcher to pair with Aaron Nola and look to perhaps contend for an NL Wild Card spot this season.

Welcome to Philly...

Chase Utley Photo of the Week (3-14-18)

Hi everybody,

This week's photo is a shot of Chase and Ryan Howard signing some autographs during the Phils Spring Training game on St. Patrick's Day.  Chase and the Big Piece were wearing the special jerseys that the Phils wear every year on St. Patrick's Day and they both look pretty cool.

Throwback Thursday (3-8-18)

Hi everybody,

Even though I am still on vacay....I wanted to share another great Throwback Thursday moment.  This week's shot is from last year when my friends bought me some custom M&M's with my face on them.  This was such a great gift and I think these custom M&M's taste even better than the regular ones.  I should get some more of them for my saloon.

Chase Utley Photo of the Week (3-7-18)

Hi everybody,

Even though I am on vacation in Savannah, GA and Charleston, SC....I still wanted to share a cool Chase photo.  This week's photo is a shot of Chase working out before a game.  It must have been a little chilly that day since Chase is wearing a sweater and knit cap.

Roy Halladay and Pat Gillick Selected as 2018 Phillies Wall of Fame Inductees

Hi everybody,

The Phillies announced on Tuesday (February 27th) that former starting pitcher Roy Halladay (who passed away last November) and former Phils GM and President Pat Gillick have been selected as the 2018 inductees to the Phillies Wall of Fame.  The ceremony will occur on Friday, August 4th before the game against the Miami Marlins.  The Phils also announced that a flag bearing Halladay's Number 34 will fly at Citizens Bank Park for the entire 2018 Season.

Halladay pitched for the Phillies from 2010-2013 and had great success with the team.  Doc was the 2010 NL Cy Young award winner and pitched two no-hitters during the 2010 Season.  The first no-hitter was a perfect game against the Marlins and the second no-hitter occurred in the NLDS playoff series against the Cincinnati Reds.

Roy Halladay

Gillick was the Phils GM during the World Series winning 2008 season and many off his moves were instrumental to the success of the Phillies during the 2007-2011 run.  Gillick was also elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2011.

Pat Gillick

I just wanted to congratulate both men for this honor.  I just wish that Doc would have been around to be a part of it.
