  • Brad Lidge

    Great conversation with Brad Lidge. He was appropriately on the mound for the last pitch of 2008, tip of the cap Brad. I especially enjoyed hearing about his archeology career. Thanks Scott for the great job you do fleshing out the people you talk to. It’s nice to gain an extra dimension on those in the sport. High Hopes for our Phillies!
