Phillies Already Making Fun Of Pat Burrell

As you no doubt know, today is the day when pitchers & catchers report! (It’s also some sort of greeting card company holiday.) No longer will we have to not watch the 76ers in our spare time; now we can fantasize about heading down to Clearwater to catch some baseball if we had any money or time.

Anyway, the Phils are down there and the Phillies are already having a little fun, reports new Daily News Phillies beat guy David Murphy on his blog. (Don’t worry if you didn’t know about it; Philly.com doesn’t bother to promote their blogs. But lots of Wing Bowl coverage!) Some prankster got that shirtless Phillies calendar photo of Burrell that comes up a million times on Google Image Search and put it on a shirt with the caption “Man or Machine?”

While I do think the caption needs a little work — no innuendo in a caption on a photo like that?? — it is nice to see the Phillies are back in action.

Update: And, hey, just in time for spring training, there’s a History of Baseball exhibit coming to the Constitution Center. Phillies Hall of Famer Robin Roberts likes it: “For some reason I got a kick out of Shoeless Joe Jackson’s shoes.”

Man or machine? You decide [High Cheese]
