The 26-year-old outfielder is a mainstay on baseball's best team, but that won't make him change his spending habits—much to the amusement of his teammates.
Brandon Marsh recently had an experience familiar to many of us: He decided not to wait in a long line at a store. Then he had an experience it’s hard to imagine anyone reading this has shared: He returned to his life without even considering visiting the store’s website.
His analog lifestyle extends back as far as he can remember. He uses a smartphone, but he says he has also never owned a computer or a tablet. He used those devices occasionally at Buford High School, but the school provided them and then took them back. So this seems impossible. Some of the people around him doubt him. “No way,” says backup catcher Garrett Stubbs, 30. General manager Dave Dombrowski, 67, goggles at the idea. “I buy a lot of things online,” he says.
This is a fair concern. It’s also pretty hard to manage. First, let’s acknowledge that it helps to be a professional athlete. Marsh’s agency, ACES, sends merchandise. The Phillies outfit him with plenty of athleisure. And nearly every day he arrives at his locker to find a Philadelphia novelty T-shirt draped over his chair. For his other sartorial needs, he heads to the mall.
