Who says you can’t go home again?
Don’t tell that to Ryan Howard. The St. Louis native loves playing in his home town. And it showed again last night.
Go ahead, admit it. When Howard walked up to the plate in the fifth inning, you were thinking grand slam. So was Howard. And he delivered, much to the joy of the large contingent of family and friends at the game, the Phils’ first trip to St. Louis this season.
Howard’s slam lifted the Phils to a 6-1 win.
Think Howard likes his home town? He’s now hitting .383 lifetime there, with seven homers and 28 RBIs in 60 at bats.
We just hope he doesn’t love it too much along the Mississippi. We want him as a fixture in the middle of that Phillies lineup for the rest of his career.
