By

Recently, I talked with Class A Lakewood outfielder Ben Pelletier. The 20-year-old was the Phillies 34th round draft selection in 2015.

As a member of the BlueClaws this year, Pelletier has struggled a bit at the plate, sporting a .185 average with 11 doubles, eight home runs and 22 RBI in 74 games to date.

Overall in 216 professional games, the righty batting Quebec native has tallied a .252/.305/.401 slash line.

During out chat, which is available EXCLUSIVELY to Patreon members, Ben discussed coming up as a baseball player in Canada, how often people mispronounce his name, staples in his diet along with plenty more.

Rappers in Phillies Caps

By
Weekend greetings to you phine pholks out there. Today's post features pictures of rappers wearing Phillies caps. Why rappers in Phillies caps, you ask? Because... Any other questions? We will start things off properly by going with a highly recognizable hip hop star. 50 Cent stays constantly relavant by consistantly creating radio friendly material to help sell (G) units, while he "keeps it real" by still rapping about the thug life he lived before becoming the 2nd highest earning black entertainer in America. 50 is seen here in a recent interview rocking a throw-back Phillies cap. Next up we'll use a throw-back screen cap from what may be the very first major appearance by a rapper wearing Phillies gear. Chuck D, of legendary rap group Public Enemy, wore a Phillies cap in the music video for rap anthem Fight The Power in 1989. The song was the lead single from the soundtrack for Spike Lee's film Do The Right Thing . Next up we'll go with some home grown tal...
