An all-class move by David Dahl heading into Friday’s game, where the Phillies are celebrating Cole Hamels Retirement Night.
It's a game many have had circled on their calendar to welcome back and honor one of the biggest pieces of the 2008 World Series team.When you think of the left-handed pitcher, a few things quickly come to mind — his changeup, NLCS MVP title, the infamous no-hitter in his final start with the Phillies and, of course, his jersey number.
No. 35 has been worn by three players since Hamels: Óscar Mercado , Drew Ellis and most recently, David Dahl.It was announced Thursday that Dahl, who has been with the club majority of June, has officially changed his number to 31.Dahl and Hamels spent time together while the two were rehabbing in Arizona as members of the Padres' organization. Out of respect to Hamels and his importance in franchise history, Dahl went to the Phillies and offered to make the switch.
