Mike Sweeney is just happy to be here.  And today, here was in San Diego with the Phillies.

"He gave me a hug after his home run. Usually, it's you trying to initiate the hug. He's like, 'Give me a hug.'"

"I grew up in a family with eight kids, so there was a lot of hugging going on. I love my teammates, so when we doing something good that's just how I'm wired. I want to share that love with my teammates."

 

Sweeney lives near the California city in the offseason, so it was the perfect place for him to hit his first home run as a Phillie.  After the game, he spoke to Sarge about his love for his teammates, God, and how happy he is to be here.  Video here.
