Pulling for Snelling

Dave Cameron is very excited that it was Chris Snelling who ignited the Phillies rally Tuesday night.

However, the inning started with a comeback of its own, and one that won't get nearly as much attention. Chris Snelling hit a home run to right field to make it a 3-1 ballgame, starting the rally that would lead to the Phillies win. And while a solo home run might not seem like much, it was a triumphant moment for people like me who have been rooting for Snelling for the better part of ten years. And really, anyone who knows any part of his story should be rooting for this kid. The former Mariner prospect's career has been derailed by injuries, but he hasn't lost the quirky personality or love for baseball that made rational analysts form the Cult of Doyle.
