It's the 100th anniversary of baseball's most famous anthem.
Oh, the drama. Bottom of the 10th and the Phillies are trailing 5-4 on an Aaron Rowand homer in the top of the frame. Werth strikes out, Chutley singles, Howard is called out and gets himself tossed for disagreeing, Burrell is the last hope and he's in a 3-2 count. Then he connects on a ball that goes sailing deep into the center field seats and the game ends with a hometown bunny hop.
That homer by Rowand was the only time he got booed last night. The Philly fan favorite who last off-season followed the money trail to a Giants' uni, Rowand got a huge O when the starting line-ups were announced, another when he took the field in the 1st, and again when he first came to bat.
