The Sad Tale of Jimmy O'Connell

Posted By: Dave

I found a version of this story on the web, at http://www.onlyagame.org/features/2003/09/jimmyocon.asp

At the time, Philadelphia was in 7th place. A quote from the story points out how sad this is.

"As somebody said 'pay the Phillies to lose? They do that all year for free.'"
