He brought me back to Phillies fandom. I was there in the dark years, but when he came up with what is truly a great baseball name, an approachable demeanor, obvious intelligence and a commitment to woo guys like Harper to believe in and come play for the Phillies, well, I loved ’em like I hadn’t in decades. I’ll always root for Rhys. He will indeed always be a Phillie. Great piece, Smelly Jim.
