A tremendous gentleman and pitcher who pitched for dreadful teams. Sometimes he would relieve between starts. He always tried to go nine innings. Phil pitched until he was 47 years old.
In person, he was as fine a man as you could meet. Was married to the same woman since the stone age. One of Ohio’s true legends. Glad to see him reunited with Joe and his dad. God rest you, Phil. From a lifelong fan.
He looked like an old man.
Turns out, he was.
Not many players can play MLB until they are 47!
