Daily News | Destination Philadelphia: Nick Castellanos, Kyle Schwarber, & James Harden prove that Philly’s special | Marcus Hayes
Within a year of each other those traitors forced their way out of town, thumbs in mouths, feelings hurt, leaving their teammates, teams, and fans stranded in a town nobody seemed to want to play in. And then Philly landed three of the biggest names in sports: Sixers guard James Harden last month, and, in within two days of each other, Phillies sluggers Kyle Schwarber and Nick Castellanos.
Those trades fueled an endless narrative: Top athletes don’t want to play for Philadelphia teams because of the Philadelphia market’s critical fan base and press coverage. Cash and competitiveness aside, all things being equal, yes, San Diego might appear more appealing to your typical 20-something millionaire than South Philly. Nobody’s pretending that the Delaware Valley offers the sort of comforts and distractions athletes can find in Hollywood or South Beach.
Kelce’s presence proves it. So does the arrival of Simmons’ replacement, and the arrival of a big new bat, and the arrival of a sack-master.
