Well, the Tigers are in and it’s between the Mets and the Cardinals in the National League. Unfortunately, the Phillies are sitting this one out this year, again. I’m rooting for the Tigers in this one.
The Phillies have had two deaths in the family the past week. First there was Cory Lidle and his tragic plane crash. And then Johnny Callison passed at the age of 67. Callison was a great player for the Phillies and won the NL MVP back in 1964. The outfielder was a three time All Star.
Gavin Floyd is one of seven Phillies playing in Arizona Fall League. It sure would be nice if Floyd could get back on track. Gio Gonzalez, who had a disappointing season at Double A after we got him the Jim Thome trade, also needs to work out some kinks. You can follow the AFL up to it’s conclusion on November 18, 2006 at the official AFL website.
