Rollins, one of the greatest players in franchise history, ranked his top four moments as a Phillie: 

1. Winning the World Series

2. Coming out of the clubhouse in 2007 and hearing the fans cheer, as the Marlins had a 4-0 lead over the Mets in the NL East race 

3. 20th triple in 2007

4. NLCS Game 4 walk off double against the Dodgers in 2009

Marks & Reese played Harry Kalas' call of the final out in 2007. 

"Always great," Rollins said hear Kalas. "Harry was a great man. I loved him. He sat in the back of the plane with us. The man walked to the back of the plane and no one said a thing about it. What a legacy he left behind."

Rollins also talked about the current Phillies, including second-year manager Gabe Kapler and made it clear that he's more of a Charlie Manuel type guy. 

Jimmy Rollins on Gabe Kapler: "He's going to try to put the best team forward. Me, personally, I think analytics are a tool and they should be left as a tool."Rollins adds Charlie used numbers, but went w/ a gut feel. "Today's game it's more about numbers than it is the guy."

Jimmy Rollins on his dynamic with Charlie Manuel: "Charlie, we'd sit there, we talk baseball strategy. But he let me express things I felt could help us win that day or improve." #Phillies
