Baseball: The Phillies
 
  -for sjg

Garry Maddox, cf

Two-thirds of the earth
is covered by the oceans
the rest by Maddox.
*********

Mike Schmidt, Third Base

In a game of inch-
es, Mike Schmidt often connected
4800 w/ one swing.
*********

Steve Carlton

Over the top, Lefty
won 27 games for
a team that won just
58 all year, plus the
clincher in '80.
**********

John Kruk

'I'm not an athlete,
I'm a ballplayer.' Walked a-
way @.300.
*********

Larry Bowa, shortstop

Sleekly stalked the turf,
each grounder bounding true
Larry ruled The Vet
*********

Shane Victorino, RF

A gun (they call it)
in the field. Makes things happen, to
on base & at bat.
From Maui, thy name is victory, no?
*********

Grant me back the times of Schilling & Dykstra.

Steve Carlton was one of the greatest pitchers of all time! He was one of the most physically fit as well (I read he used to twist his fist to the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket of rice) . I'm only twenty years old, but I would have really enjoyed watching him in his prime (if he had spent his whole career with the Cardinals lol) . The same thing with Mike Schmidt!
