I went to Phillies games in the days when Pete Rose was there, and that just stuck with me. I'm sticking with the Phillies and (first baseman) Ryan Howard and (outfielder) Jayson Werth. My dad is a die-hard Yankees fan, so we don't talk too much about baseball.

that leaps to my mind is Ryan Howard and Jimmie Foxx. Both are the greatest power-hitting first basemen in Philadelphia baseball history with no one coming in a close second.
