Coste to Coste

coste.jpgChris Coste rejoined the Phillies today at Citizens Bank Park because the Phillies placed Ryan Howard on the disabled list after last night's 11-7 victory over the Chicago Cubs.

Facts about Coste:
- He made his big-league debut May 26 last season, becoming the oldest player (33 years, 111 days) to make his big-league debut with the Phillies since Izzy Leon (34 years, 168 days) on June 21, 1945.
- The Phillies went 61-54 (.530) the rest of the way.
- The Phillies are 8,720-9,921 (.468) in franchise history without Coste.

Just sayin'.

jimmy mack:

I hope Coste gets off to a good start and makes Gillick keep him. I have seen all I want this season of Helms and Werth. And Burrell and Eaton. And Rosario and Castro..ah, never mind.
