Phirst Post

I've wanted to get involved in this wonderful world we call Phillies blogging for some time. However, with so many great blogs, such as The Fightins, Phillies Nation and The 700 Level, just to name a few, I didn't want to get into the same type of content.

So I thought it would be interesting to take a look at some of the Phillies players that have graced the Philadelphia stage over the past 20 years or so to see if I can jog some of my and your memories. Since we all know the stars, such as Jimmy Rollins, Jim Thome, Curt Schilling and Darren Daulton, I won't spend too much time on them. I am more interested in the interim players, the lowly backups and the short-lived prospects.

To avoid running out of content, I will post once to twice a week. Most of the players will span from those from the early 1990s (when I began following the team) to present day.

The posts will give a synopsis of why I feel the individual players are interesting to profile and any memories I have regarding them. After that, I will try to present facts, including their statistics, to give an understanding of the type of impact they had while wearing red and white. I will try to keep opinions and judgments as far removed from these posts as possible.

I love this stuff, so I hope you enjoy these posts, as well.
