Brett Myers, you won't be forgotten

Brett Myers started a spring training game against his former team the Phillies yesterday. Myers, now with the Astros, was a key player in the 2008 playoffs and eventual championship for the Phillies. Though Brett Myers' skills have declined over the years as well as his reputation, he will never be forgotten in the hearts and minds of Philadelphia fans.
Myers has always been a player who either did real well or really struggled. In his latter years with the Phils, he could never maintain a level of consistency which would allow him to solidify his role. This is what swayed Charlie Manuel to move Myers to the bullpen in 2007 when Billy Wagner got hurt. Myers always had the bulldog mentality and a style of pitching that led many to believe that closing could be his real calling, which I still believe to this day. (He shouldn't be starting, he should be a closer)
Myers spoke to the media and said that he did miss being around his former teammates and manager. Video foottage before Myers' start showed him mingling with the Phillies with everyone smiling and talking. You can tell they still love Brett, as do we the Phillies fans.
We will never forget Brett. We will always respect him and what he did for the Phils franchise. Some of the standout moments include the winning strikeout in 2007 when he wiffed the last batter of the regular season for the Phillies to clinch their first division title since '93. And of course the best moment, probably of Myers' entire career, the at bat against C.C. Sabathia in the 2008 division series against Milwaukee. The 10-pitch at bat where Brett Myers took the heart out of Sabathia and the Brewers altogether. Myers worked the count from 1-2 and then he fouled off about 5 or 6 pitches that electrified the Philadelphia crowd after each ball was hit. You could see the frustration on Sabathia's face and you could feel the heart of the Brewers dying as Myers worked the walk. No walk in Philadelphia Philly history, or possibly even Major League history, will ever match the magnitude of that walk. And no at-bat of a pitcher will ever electrify 50,000 fans the way that Brett Myers did that day. It was a perfect illustration of what kind of teammate Brett Myers was and is. Thank you Brett
