Phillips came up in 2004, and homered on the very first big league pitch he saw at Fenway Park, the 21st player in ML history to do so. Very cool. I remember watching that game!
He played in just over 200 career games for the Yanks over four seasons, then played for the Reds and Mets before retiring. He returned to his alma mater, Alabama, and currently serves as an assistant coach. I love that!
Thanks to Mr. Phillips for signing my cards. Roll tide!
