Phillies Manager Gabe Kapler Loses Home in Woolsey Fire, Urges Awareness

Phillies manager Gabe Kapler lost his Malibu, Calif. home in the Woolsey fire, he told The Athletic's Matt Gelb.

Kapler's ex-wife and two sons left the home in accordance with a mandatory evacuation order. The blaze burned Kapler's home down to a steel staircase, but his words suggested he's not concerned with the personal impact.

“Keep talking about it,” Kapler told The Athletic. “When you’re out in your community, talk about it with other people. Use it as a way to come together. I sent this text message back to people: Talk about it. Shine light on it.
