CODY ASCHE kept his word.
The newly minted outfielder - at the time, a third baseman - was the first player whom Jenny and Roger Kirk met when amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients were allowed to bring a family member to the clubhouse area at Citizens Bank Park for a meet-and-greet at last year's Phillies Phestival.
After meeting Asche with her father Roger, an ALS patient, Jenny sent Asche a message via social media and included a picture taken at last year's Phillies Phestival of her and her dad.
"He sent me a message back saying nice to meet you, if you guys need anything to let him know," Jenny Kirk said at yesterday's Phillies Phestival.
