2009 Toipps #UH248 Chan Ho Park

Yesterday we covered Chan Ho Park's HoF (lack of) candidacy. Today I just want to add some proof that he spent 15 minutes in the Phillies organization.

2009 Topps Update #UH248 Chan Ho Park (b-side)

Just posting this to note that it is interesting that Chan Ho Park owned slugger Miguel Tejada. Prior to coming to Philadelphia Park was basically a starter. With the Phillies he was relegated to spot relief.

 2010 Topps #51 Chan Ho Park

One final piece of evidence Chan Ho Park pitched for the Phillies, way back in 2009 I took a picture of him on the mound and somehow that picture made it onto an early Phungo Card

Trendy: 2010 Phungo Cards #12 Homer Bailey

Congrats to Homer Bailey - tossing his 2nd No-Hitter tonight. 

2010 Phungo #12 Homer Bailey

Pix on this Phungo card is from a game way back in July of 2009 when Bailey faced the Phillies. At the time Bailey only had 5 career victories - tonight he recorded number 43, 2 of which are the most recent MLB No-Hitters.

This card is from the 2nd set of Phungo cards, and the photography shows it, that is at least one camera ago, maybe two and my skills have picked up since then. In 2009 I was using MS-Paint to create cards, now I am using the much more advanced Pixlr.

Regardless, back in 2009, Homer Bailey had a very mediocre Major League resume, but I was aware he was a prospect and wanted to see him pitch and I also wanted to get him on a card. Congrats to Mr Bailey and thanks for putting some excitement into the middle of my baseball week.
