From Philadelphia Phillies’ Fans to Gary Smith, Thank You!

Smith, in his time spent covering the Phillies, seems to have realized that although this team is undoubtedly special and unique, it is not their superstar pitchers or managements’ willingness to buy championships that makes Philadelphia the greatest place to play, it is their fans.
