Who we all know the 2025 Phillies are the attractive draw at the spring training complex in Clearwater Florida. That’s no doubt, there’s been several sellouts so far this season, and the team looks very good The Phillies dumped the Blue Jays 5 to 4 on a split squad Saturday and then beat the Baltimore Orioles 12 to 2 in convincing fashion on Sunday.
We’re to work we going pretty good going to the work week looking pretty good with the films they’ll be facing the twins the Boston Red Sox, the Atlanta Braves a split squad game on Friday with the Pirates prospects versus the Phillies prospects at 1:05 and a night game at the Yankees at 6:35 PM. I will have coverage of both of those games.
but outside of the stadium down in Clearwater there’s a bustling atmosphere once the game begins as I said we are all concerned on what’s going on between the lines and on the diamond with the Phillies. I happen to be outside the stadium a couple days ago after the start of the game and I found this gentleman in the shadows of the stadium across the street and he was selling some of the nicest art that I’ve ever seen of baseball players. I struck up a conversation with him because his sign read homeless please help. And I looked at his artwork and they were absolutely fantastic drawings of Bryce Harper and many other great baseball stars like Aaron Judge Babe Ruth, and even some Eagles players. I decided that this gentleman had a good story to tell and I did a video interview of him and here it is for you. If you’d like to donate to keep the blog going, please use the link below the video and make a dollar or two or five dollar donation. If 1000 people did that I could bring you more stories like this from all over the Philly spring training schedule. It would be most appreciated anyway here is the gentleman story. I hope you enjoy it. It’s sad but on the other hand, it’s very happy because he does make a living selling art so if you see him there near the stadium stop over and maybe pick up a print or two of his work and say hello. Tell him Rich at fight in Phillies Blog says hello.
