PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Matt Szczur has won a national championship and a World Series. This South Jersey native was trying to make the Phillies when the coronavirus pandemic hit.
Szczur finally had the opportunity to play for his hometown team when the coronavirus pandemic suspended spring training in Clearwater, Florida.
“We kind of made the decision like hey, we’ve got to just grind it out for a day and get home and be safe at home, so that is what we did,” he said.
The Cape May native, formerly with the Chicago Cubs and San Diego Padres, is confident they will play baseball at some point.
