We’ve come to the eighth and final day of Chanukah, which means it’s time to wrap up my series on some of the players to have worn the number eight for the Phillies.
I hope nobody was disappointed that I didn’t cover the exploits of Paul Masterson, John Kennedy, Dale Sveum, Nick Punto, Alex Gonzalez, Jose Hernandez, Logan Morrison, Phil Gosselin, or Freddy Galvis (during his second stint with the team). Some of those guys had decent careers elsewhere, but none of them did enough with the Phillies to warrant much discussion.
Instead, I’ll discuss the men who wore the number eight for the last two Phillies teams to win the National League pennant.
