Every Phillies game is like watching it in your living room with your uncle after a couple pops. You don’t know if half the shit that comes out of his mouth is true, but you want to believe it. Shoutout to T-Mac for weaving in the play-by-play while Kruk told his story.
“He found his girlfriend cheating, he burned up her car with her and her boyfriend in it.”
“There’s a line drive into left field by Turner.”
Flawless.
Add this story up there with his brother Cecil and the shotgun wedding:
We’ve been blessed with great announcers in this city and great color guys. Imagine Whitey and Kruk in the booth together:
