“I guess it’s a big day for Americans. It’s a special moment for us. More important was the fact we were playing the game. That’s more important than anything else”
-Victorino
Not the best PR move from several Phillies players!
Trainer Mike Herbst informed bench coach Ken Oberkfell, who told Collins, who was jarred from his trademark focus. “You almost want to stop the game,” he said.
‘The Phillies should have heeded Collins’ wisdom and stopped the game for a moment; surely the Mets or Yankees would have in New York. But that error in judgment didn’t take away from an evening that will never be forgotten.’
Hindsight….in this day an age of up to the second technology, maybe they ought to think about shutting Twitter down before they’re doing something like this the next time…..
