Pat Neshek had a great stint as a Phillie. His low ERA, high strikeouts and overall pumped-up persona will last in our memories for quite a while.
Let’s revisit some of Neshek’s greatest moments as a member of the squad.
***
While signed as a Phillie, Neshek was pretty awesome in the World Baseball Classic, helping push the USA to victory:
Here’s Neshek playing the role of “only Phillies pitcher to figure out Giancarlo Stanton this year”:
Possibly why the Rockies wanted Neshek in the first place; this awesome diving stop …
There was the time he deked Paul Goldschmidt …
And his final great moment as a Phillie, striking out Ryan Braun while wearing those gorgeous throwback powder blues to keep a game tied.
Thanks, Pat Neshek. Next time you’re in town, we’ll buy you a beer. Or get you some cool baseball card. Whatever you want, dude.
Tim MalcolmTim 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.
