Welcome Back, Aaron

Aaron Rowand returned to Citizen’s Bank Park for the first time since his departure from the Phillies last season. He is a tough-nosed player and a leader in the clubhouse. Many fans feel snubbed that he left the Phillies for more money. Most of the fans still think of him fondly for “The Catch” in center field to save a win for the Fightins’. This snippet from the Associated Press still gives me goosebumps.

“More importantly, Rowand answered a burning question that has plagued the sporting public in Philadelphia since it was first asked more than a decade ago.

“For who? My teammates. For what? To win,” Rowand said without hesitation or wavering.”

Welcome back, Aaron.
