PHILADELPHIA — When Dave Dombrowski was hired by the Phillies to be the club’s president of baseball operations in December 2020, he received a note from a fellow Philadelphia front office executive: Eagles vice president and general manager Howie Roseman.
After hearing that Roseman was going to throw out a ceremonial first pitch prior to Tuesday’s game against the Braves, Dombrowski shot Roseman a text: “Throw a strike.” The two planned on meeting up to say hello later that night.
Roseman hooked a pitch to the left-handed batter’s box. He won’t catch any real grief for it.
