Another ringing endorsement for Mike Arbuckle
IF REVENGE is a dish best served cold, seven years is plenty long for Mike Arbuckle's resentment to have chilled.
Except there is no resentment.
He is too big a man, too good a man, to consider even tasting vengeance.
Arbuckle was part of another World Series parade on Tuesday. He will be fitted for another ring this winter.
Today, Phillies president Andy MacPhail is tasked with clearing the rubble of a Phillies franchise Arbuckle helped build as an assistant general manager, then watched crumble from Midwestern exile as a special adviser with the Royals.
Today, Phillies faithful can ask:
"What if the Phillies had promoted Arbuckle to general manager instead of Ruben Amaro Jr?"
