I don't like the Phillies. I don't like any Philadelphia sports team. But, the former Phillies AAA organization, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons were half an hour from my home for the first 14 years of my life. I saw Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins, Shane Victorino, Ryan Howard, and Cole Hammels playing for a shot to get into the majors. And while I don't root for the Phillies, I root for them, especially Utley.
