Report: Sheffield Had Interest In Phillies

The Associated Press confirms Gary Sheffield had mutual interest in the Phillies, especially with friend Jimmy Rollins persuading him. But it was, according to the article, David Wright who got the better of the exchange, bringing Sheffield to the Mets.

The Mets won their opener today, 2-1, behind Daniel Murphy and a sterling bullpen effort.

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
