Huge hat tip to Craig Calcaterra for pointing out this story, which solves myriad mysteries. Now we know:
1) Jason Phillips is alive and well.
2) Jason Phillips is now the Mariners’ bullpen catcher.
3) Jason Phillips can woo women with baseballs, and not just his (presumably) encyclopedic knowledge of turn-of-the-millenium indie rock.
4) Jason Phillips is getting married in the Safeco Field bullpen after the Mariners game on Sunday.
This story is super rad. Well played, Mr. Phillips.
That’s actually identical to a story from The Bullpen Gospels . . .
First you track down Shinjo, now Jason Phillips?
Who’s next? Mo Vaughn, Timo…Alex Escobar??
I do know where Mike Glavine is btw. I’m a graduate of Northeastern and Glavine was a hitting coach for the baseball team there, used to pass by him all the time at the indoor field intramurals shared with the team.
It took a lot of self-restraint to not bug him post Tom-meltdown-of-’07.
Wasn’t Vance Wilson a major league baseball player last year?
