Hill, who had entered […]
There is no sugarcoating it: this was a deeply unpleasant game. It didn’t look that way for most of it. Early on there was a charming, cheering, homer clanging off the foul pole from a most unlikely hitter, and later on the Phillies looked like they were in position for a walk-off thriller. But it […]

Arraez has […] The post Why Didn’t Anyone Tell Me Luis Arraez Was a Swag Guy? appeared first on Crossing Broad .

More often than not, you’ll see fans asking players for an autograph, a selfie, or maybe even a video saying hi to their family. But MLB fans?
