After a lot of seriousness in the playoff chase maybe it’s time for a little levity, and you can easily do that by bringing up former Dodger skipper Tommy Lasorda. With the Phillies in the World Series, I was thinking back at the rivalries the Dodgers had with that ballclub. We faced them in the playoffs in ’77, ’78, ’83, ’08 and ’09. There is history between us. There were controversies and players that donned both uniforms. I was thinking about who our favorite Phillie has been over the years and for me, aside from possibly Chase Utley, it has to the Phillie Phanatic.
