Phillies Win the World Series!!!

We have been to several Phillies spring traning games in Clearwater, Florida. These pictures are from 2007. Ryan Howard is batting below on the left. Our seats were very close to the players in the middle, and a field view with A-mac on the right.

In 2005, Ryan Howard won the NL Rookie of the Year award. In 2006, Ryan Howard won the NL MVP award when he hit 58 home runs. Ryan Howard was the fastest player to reach 100 home runs in MLB history.

When we visited Phillies spring training in 2008, we were lucky enough to get Ryan Howard to sign a 2006 Topps baseball card. According to Ebay, worth about $100. According to Macs - "priceless". A-mac, MacDaddy and I got to the stadium well before the game start. Ryan Howard was talking to someone by the stands and I pointed this out to A-mac, who hustled down to get his autograph. He was nice... I wish I had the pictures.
