A Fan’s Letter to Jimmy Rollins…

15 Dec

Dear Jimmy,

First let me open up by saying that I am extremely grateful for the efforts that you have made in the past to the team that I love, and in the commumity that I live in.  Your charitable efforts have blessed so many children in the community.  From your efforts with Prevent Child Abuse Pennsylvania, to your involvement in the RBI program.  You have helped so many children in our area and we are forever in your debt.  Thank you.

So let’s get to the reason that I’m writing this letter to you.  Sure, I’m a sports writer, but I’m also a Phillies fan.  I follow you on Twitter, and I’m sure you’re pleased to know we’re friends on Facebook.  I’ve worn your #11 jersey on my back, and I have your bobblehead on my writing desk. You’re my Shortstop.  You’re our Shortstop, and I’d like to keep it that way.

Read the rest here…

 

Be sure to keep up to date with the Phillies this off-season, and follow me on Twitter.

    Do you know of any team that would willingly give him the 5 year deal? That’s what the hold out is all about. I agree with you that Rollin’s best asset is his excellent defense. He has simply astounded me with his plays and I wouldn’t want any other shortstop on the Phils other than him. Plus, his cohesiveness with Utley can’t be matched or overlooked.That 5 year deal is the sticking point!
