“Sorry I Stunk for You,” Writes Whit Merrifield to Philadelphia in his Retirement Letter
Published:
Whit Merrifield retired:
“Philly, I liked you way more than you liked me. Sorry I stunk for you.”
Hey listen man, no hard feelings. We appreciate self-deprecating humor, especially at this website. Sometimes it just doesn’t work out. It’s hard to go from everyday player to utility man, especially in a new city when you’re 35 years old and near the end of your career anyway. We’re not torn up about Whit Merrifield not working out, we’re more annoyed with guys like MARKELLE FULTZ and JAHLIL OKAFOR and NOLAN PATRICK and any number of high draft picks that turned out to be busts.
Good luck to Mr. Merrifield in retirement and congrats on the baby.
