Mini Episode 21: Ty Simpkins - Philadelphia Phillies

Show Notes

Ty Simpkins is our guest in The Clubhouse today. 

You can follow Ty on Twitter @TYSIMPKINSactor

Check out his Facebook page here. 

4:20 Ryan Howard was Ty's favorite player growing up. At one point, Howard looked like he was going to be a lock for the Hall of Fame. Unfortunately, injuries and an increase in defensive shifts have stood in his way. 

4:30 In 2008, Ty's Philadelphia Phillies won the World Series. 

6:45 The tradition of throwing the opposing team's home run back on to the field is ridiculous. Ty, Muneesh and Anthony all agree that if you catch a ball, you should keep the ball.

9:00 Ruben Tejada hit an inside the park home run at the game Ty, Muneesh and Anthony attended. The most exciting play is all of sports!!!
