One Phillies fan is determined to get his son to a World Series game when Philadelphia hosts the Astros for Games 3 and 4.
-Phillies game they can. It's a promise made to his son's biological father when they adopted him in Houston in 2001.
When it came time to adopt Ryan, Bob would have the opportunity to meet both of the baby's birth parents. "As a father, that choked me up," says Vaughn. "I said to him, "I can promise you this. He can be an Astros fan, but he will be a Philadelphia Phillies fan first, and then Astros second!"He also promised to get Ryan to an Astros-Phillies matchup whenever he could. It started in 2002 in the old Veterans Stadium and has continued for nearly two decades at Citizens Bank Park.

Since this is a story about redemption, we don't need to waste too much time on the merits of such behavior or What It Says about a fanbase. He'd had a rough postseason so far, so they booed. And when he launched a two-run shot to cut the San Diego Padres' early lead in half, they cheered. They cheered again for his second two-run homer in the wild 10-6 win on Saturday that put the Phillies within a game of the World Series. And I don't know the exact decibel, but they probably cheered loudest of all for his third two-run home run in two games in Sunday's pennant-clinching 4-3 victory. Hoskins, drafted by the Phillies in the fifth round in 2014 — the first of three times in a four-year span they would finish last in the division, and the second in a nine-year stretch of finishing at or below .500 — here is an allegory.
