Former Philadelphia Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. is homesick.
Prior to his dismissal as the Phillies general manager in September of 2015, Amaro had spent the bulk of his life in the organization. He was the Phillies bat boy from 1980-1983, spent parts of five seasons with the team as a player and was a Phillies assistant general manager from late in 1998 until the conclusion of the 2008 World Series, when he was named the successor at general manager for retiring Hall of Famer Pat Gillick.
Now, over four years since he was last employed by the organization, Amaro is hoping to return to the Phillies in some capacity.
