| A faux paus on my part lead me to having an outfielder play catcher for the Phillies for the final two innings! Let me explain: With regular catcher Carlos Ruiz jusat going onto the DL, Brian Schneider is handling the majority of the backstop work. His backup would be Dane Sardinha (one of the few native Hawaiians in the majors, the most well known being teammate Shane Victorino). Sardinha pinch-hit for pitcher Jamie Moyer in the 5th inning for his Phillie debut. Trying to get a rally going in the 7th and totally forgetting that backup catcher Sardinha had already been in the game, Ben Francisco came in to pinch-hit for the light hitting Schneider, which works as he ignites a 5 run game winning rally with a bases loaded double for three runs. Only problem is, and I didn' teven realize it until it happened, for the top of the 8th I have no catchers on the roster now! For lack of anyone else Francisco takes over behind the plate, gets through the 8th okay, but gets a passed ball during a 3-run Indians rally in the 9th. Despite the Indians being one of the charter members of the American League in 1901 and the Phillies being the longest one city, one team name team in professional sports (since 1883), this is the first time Cleveland has ever played in Philadelphia to play the Phillies. The two previous Indians-Phillies interleague matchups in 2002 and 2007 were both in Cleveland. Obviously the Indians have played in Philly before the A's moved from Philadelphia to Kansas City in 1954.
