A team that came out of nowhere to reach the World Series is doing its best to focus on a promising future rather than a disappointing present. “We should definitely be proud.”
A dynasty-to-be ended up with only one championship, but Schwarber, an affable slugger known for (very) long home runs, is back in the Fall Classic with Philadelphia.
Despite a recommendation to stay the night in San Diego on Wednesday, Philadelphia’s road-weary players elected to get home as quickly as possible. So far, so good.
Looking to revamp his struggling team, Philadelphia’s owner spent wildly on stars like Bryce Harper, Zack Wheeler and Kyle Schwarber. Those stars led the team to an N.L.C.S. win.
