New Phillies relief pitcher Archie Bradley got us all fired up today. The 28-year-old signed a one-year, six million dollar contract with the club in January and can't wait to experience the "craziness" of the Philadelphia sports fan.
"I'm telling you this much for anyone listening out there who is a Phillies fan," Bradley told Angelo Cataldi and the 94WIP Morning Show on Wednesday.
"I am craving the craziness. The Phanatic, the wildness, the boos, the cheers. Nothing against Arizona, but Philly is a sports city. The history, it runs deep, and I am the type of the player who craves that type of backing, that type of city, and a group that will rally around a team and be a part of something special hopefully."
Bradley explained how the Phillies' front office pursued him this offseason.
"I give a lot of credit to the front office here in Philly," Bradley said. "They made me feel very wanted. They were very active in letting me know how much they wanted to come here, from what I do on the field to also what I think I can help with off of the field."
