An old photo from a game years ago in Oakland.
Lots of former Phillies or Phillie farmhands were pitching last night. Promising farmhand Gio Gonzalez pitched for the Oakland A's, while first-round draft pick Gavin Floyd went for the White Sox against former-Phillie Kevin Millwood of the Orioles. Brett Myers, now of the Astros, was squaring off against Randy Wolf, now with the Brewers. That's not all, though. Bruce Chen, in yet another of his baseball reincarnations, was pitching for the Royals. Gio won, Floyd won, Wolf won, and Chen won. What a bummer that Cole Hamels lost.
