As many know, the Philly fans are passionate about their teams and want to see them succeed. But, sometimes that passion takes a turn for the worse. A few times each season the Phillies would host “Dollar Dog Nights” at the ballpark. It was a great way to get fans out to the games and get to eat some cheap hotdogs.

Now he is trying to show offensive improvements this spring. As shared by the Phillies, Pache launched a solo home run in spring training on Th ..read more

But, they did not leap into perennial contention until they landed Bryce Harper. When Harper hit free agency back in 2019, there was clear interest from the Phillies.
