POTW: Philip Herbst

The Sauce

We have all heard the phrase, "I could beat you with one arm tied behind by back". Well, Phil Herbst set out to coin his own phrase. Playing the whole game on pretty much one leg because of a bad ankle, he pitched and hit his team to victory. Phil, backed by solid defense was able to hold Death From Above down in the later innings, allowing for a possible comeback. Not wanting to be considered a one-sided player Phil mashed the ball in multiple at bats including, in his final at-bat a deep gap shot that he was able to hobble into a homerun. All his efforts prevented and then capped a spirited comeback.
