Zac Gallen took a seat at the podium on an NFL Sunday to discuss how one of the best pitchers in baseball this season planned to handle Philadelphia’s potent lineup.
But keep the Q&A short. Gallen had a game to catch, one where the hardest hitters wore green and white, rather than Phillies red and white.D-backs buzz builds as the team's unexpected playoff run continues
Gallen, a 17-game winner in 2023, actually grew up a St. Louis Cardinals fan because he loved Mark McGwire. It was his mother, Stacey, who considered herself a Phillies diehard fan and took Gallen and his brother to games at Citizens Bank Park. Now, mom and countless other friends and family — "I’m playing for free here with all the tickets," Gallen cracked — will be back in Philly on Monday to root for Gallen rather than the home team in Game 1 of the NL Championship Series.
Another kid with dreams of one day wearing the same jersey as Ryan Howard and Chase Utley now shares Gallen’s goal of knocking out the Phillies.
