Larry Andersen days until Opening Day

6 comments
  1. 37 players have worn #47 for the Phillies, most recently Cal Stevenson in 2024. Larry Andersen played for the Phillies from 1983-1986 and again from 1993-1994. With the Phillies Andersen pitched 297.0 innings over 241 games with an ERA of 3.27. He retired after his 1994 season with the Phillies.

  2. I listen to most games on the radio and frequently text my dad, often about things LA and the gang say. I went back through our text string to find some highlights from, or about, LA:

    >Stocker: “Freddie Freeman just broke a finger, small stress fracture on the middle finger of his right hand”

    >Franzke: “I know from recent experience Larry hasn’t broken his…”

    And

    >Larry Andersen: By the way, I want to thank you for letting me see the inside of your house.

    >Scott Franzke: You saw the inside of my house?

    >LA: Yeah, very late last night. I don’t remember how I got in but it was very nice. I don’t know what the yellow wall was about though.

    >Franzke: Are we talking about a dream you had?

    >LA: Yeah.

    Then there’s

    >Larry: “The Royals’ starters in this series are a combined 3-28”

    >Franzke: “All of their ERAs are over 5, and the two after Lyles are over 6.”

    >Larry: “Doesn’t bode well for us.”

    And

    >Franzke: “Now they’ve got Rocchio off the bag…”

    >LA: “Doesn’t matter…”
