Preview: Reading Fightin' Phils Team Postcard SGAs
The Phillies have a long history with the Reading organization - serving as a minor league affiliate since 1967. Over that time, many of the the great players who we have seen play in Philadelphia got their start with the Reading Phillies, including Larry Bowa, Mike Schmidt, Greg Luzinski, Ryan Howard, Chase Utley and Cole Hamels.
This season the team is paying homage to their past by handing out postcards featuring a few of their famous alums. Things get kicked-off during Opening Week with postcards for the 1968, 1969 and 1970 teams (500 of each) being handed out at FirstEnergy Stadium. Additional years to be highlighted this season are the 1971 (Schmidt/Boone), 1973 (Champions), 1978, 1980 (Sandberg), 1983 (Daulton), 1995 (Champions), 2000 and 2004 (Howard/Ruiz) Reading Phillies.
