An email from David in Milwaukee (no, not Adam in Milwaukee):
Look, I understand that you’re not into the BP hype machine and that’s fine. The content is at your discretion, obviously, but there’s something seemingly wrong when there is not one mention of Phillips’ third 20-20-20 season. Per Sheldon, Phillips is the only Reds player to ever do 20 doubles, 20 homers and 20 steals in three consecutive seasons. Only four players in team history have done it over any three seasons — Vada Pinson, Joe Morgan, Eric Davis and Phillips. No matter what you think of the guy, he deserves the credit for this accomplishment. The fact that nobody even sniffed at this story during the past 48 hours is unfortunate.
Okay, okay…back off!
