Plus: Harper everything Phils expected
It's a simple fact: The city of Philadelphia loves hoagies. Philly loves hoagies so much that there's an annual Hoagiefest. And this year, it coincided with a mammoth breakout from slugger Kyle Schwarber, who slashed .272/.385/.680 with 12 homers in June. After Schwarber got off to a cold start during the postseason, a decision was reached to bring back Hoagiefest, only this time, it was redubbed Schwarberfest. He responded by hitting a 488-foot homer that night, and the Phillies now find themselves back in the Fall Classic for the first time since 2009. |
