and the winner is....

Jayson Werth. Yes, Jayson Werth, I've just heard, is the Phillie who got the most signs and attention along the parade route. A stealth candidate for sure, though a couple of weeks ago a middle-aged usher was telling me that Werth was her favorite player. "He's got such beautiful eyes," she said, as a male colleague snorted dismissively. Turns out that lots of fans have noticed Werth. 'Marry Me, Jayson' signs were popular. Will success spoil these guys?

Jimmy Rollins took to the real campaign trail after the World Series, making robo-calls for the Obama-Biden ticket.
