The Philadelphia Phillies and their fans hoped that slugger Ryan Howard could go back to being the player that he was during the middle of the Phillies pennant runs.
Coming into this season everybody believed that he had finally healed from all his injuries and he had also settled a case that surrounded fraud and mismanagement of his money by his family.
But, the reality is that his start to the season has backed up a lot of people’s opinions that Howard is finished and never will again be the player he once was.
