The amazing Ryan Howard Garden Gnome is back! Not the one pictured here, which was handed out last August at a Reading Phillies' game, but a new version. V.2 features Howard in his black R-Phils' uni and will be given to the first 3500 fans on April 14, opening night, in Reading. That night will kick off a four-day weekend of events planned to celebrate the $10 million renovation done over the winter to the Reading ballpark. Last summer's gnome earned the fulminations of Keith Olberman. I think the R-Phil general manager actually made #1 on his 'Worst Person in the World' list. Too bad Olberman got sacked last week or we could have a Worst Person redux in April.
