Joe Blanton: Phillies’ Game 4 Winner
The last time I posted about Joe Blanton this season, he was with the Oakland A’s. Yesterday, he pitched in the World Series for the Philadelphia Phillies against the Tampa Bay Rays. The result? A Phillies win of 10-2 with Mr. Blanton hitting a solo home run in the fifth. The Phillies now have a 3-1 lead. Will they end the disappointing march of the Rays? Or will the Rays persevere and tie the series? We’ll find out on Tuesday…
(higher quality version)
In the history of baseball, Joe Blanton is the 15th pitcher to ever hit a home run in a World Series. Ken Holtzman (who was with the Oakland A’s) was the previous pitcher which dates all the way back to 1974! Way to go, Joe!
