THE BAT HAS RETURNED!

The Phillies have announced that Pat Burrell will sign a one-day minor league contract so he can retire as a Phillie. He will be honored prior to the May 19th game against the Red Sox.

Earlier this spring, Ruben Amaro said that the team would consider the gesture, but no announcement had been made until today.

Awesome move. Get the legs spreading, Rittenhouse area– Pat is back.
