Twelve players have worn #56 for the Phillies, the most recent being Zach Eflin from 2016-2022. Joe Blanton wore #56 from 2008-2012 as a member of the Phillies. During that span, he pitched 616.1 innings over 105 games with an ERA of 4.47 and a record of 34-25. In the 2008 World Series run, Blanton threw 17.0 innings over just 3 games with one homerun.
I love that the pic is of Blanton swinging and not pitching. That is awesome!! Lol
“THE 2-1 IS HIT WELL INTO LEFT, HOW ‘BOUT BLANTON GOING DEEP”
Pitchers and catchers report two days after the Super Bowl. My heart isn’t getting a break this year.
People who prefer the DH have no soul.
I remember the headline in the Daily News: Joe the Lumber (a reference to McCain on the 2008 campaign trail interviewing Joe the plumber)
JOE THE LUMBER
What a stud
Fuck the DH
THICC boi, love me some Fat Joe
This was the correct picture
Oh shit less than two months!!!!
Fact: Joe Blanton was the last pitcher to hit a home run in the World Series.
