Phather and Son

Relive the exploits of memorable, if not exemplary Phillies teams and players through the eyes of a young fan and his father. The journey for Dad and I begins with our first Phillies game together at Veterans Stadium in 1990 when I was just seven years old. Through the coming years and decades, my dad got me to fall in love with this team while also appreciating an American League team just an hour to the south. Our family and father-son relationship experienced their fair share of ups and downs, but when all was said and done, the Phillies and baseball in general, always brought us back together.
