Don't worry I am not really returning to blogging, I just wanted to make sure that Cole Hamels 2015 No-Hitter versus the Chicago Cubs didn't not go unnoticed.
2016 Topps Wrigley Celebrates 100 Years WRIG-21
How cool is it to be featured in an insert set that is dedicated to another team.
Cole Hamels 5-0 no-hit victory versus the Cubs was a bittersweet moment. On the one hand you have the excitement of the monumental accomplishment of one of the franchises most important players, however on the other hand it would be Hamels last appearance in a Phillies uniform.
A week later Hamels was traded to the Texas Rangers along with reliever Jake Diekman. The return was a bunch of ballplayers that have had varied degrees of major league time. The big chip so far has been Jorge Alfaro who the Phillies flipped for JT Realmuto.
Since leaving Philadelphia Hamels has pitched well and made the postseason with both the Rangers (2015-16) and oddly enough the Cubs in 2018.
Unfortunately he is now with the Phillies division rival Braves - however he is currenlty on the 45 day IL
