The Phillies won Game 3 of the NLDS against the Braves in decisive fashion at Citizens Bank Park. They can take the series with a win tomorrow.
Burrell was the first overall pick by the Phillies in the 1998 MLB Amateur Draft. He spent his first nine seasons in red pinstripes, patrolling left field and mashing home runs along the way. He hit 251 homers in a Phillies uniform, fourth in the team’s history. He also ranked fifth all-time in walks and tenth in RBI .
Pat the Bat, as he was called, turned 46 Monday, and provided one of the biggest hits of the 2008 World Series. With the score tied at 3-3 in the clinching Game 5, Burrell mashed a double off J.P. Howell to lead off the 7th inning. He was lifted for a pinch-runner, but that runner scored what was ultimately the run that clinched the franchise’s second-ever World Series crown.Off the field, Burrell knew how to find a good time.
