Synopsis
When Mitch Williams threw the pitch that lost the 1993 World Series for the Philadelphia Phillies, no one could have predicted that his reaction to the loss would win the hearts and minds of Phillies fans across the nation. He stood at his locker for an hour after the game, answering every question, most of which could be answered simply: "I threw a bad pitch." He didn't go into hiding, make excuses, or believe that one loss was the end of the world. Phillies fans, notorious as the toughest in sports, recognized a stand-up guy when they saw one and embraced him as one of their own. Though his successful pitching career is behind him, Mitch is still standing up in Philadelphia and telling it like it is. Straight Talk from Wild Thing is the story of his career, but more than that, it is inside baseball seen from many perspectives: sitting on a 10-hour minor league bus ride, standing on a pitcher's mound, and sitting in a clubhouse, a dugout, and a ranch in Texas, where a man who "retired" at age 32 struggled to figure out what to do next., When Mitch Williams threw the pitch that lost the 1993 World Series for the Philadelphia Phillies, no one could have predicted that his reaction to the loss would win the hearts and minds of Phillies fans across the nation.

- -***a (130)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI paid for this card 15 days ago. It wasn’t until I reached out the the seller and mentioned I saw the shipping tag was created but there is no other information. They told me they were too busy to ship it. After 8 days they finally shipped it and it took a week to get here. The way they packaged it wasn’t standard for the way cards are shipped it was loose and easily could have gotten damaged. I had would not recommend this seller because if you want a speedy delivery or proper packaging.Reply from: yankeefanpa- Feedback replied to by seller yankeefanpa.- Feedback replied to by seller yankeefanpa.The buyer is accurate that the shipment was delayed due to challenges in our work week. Not because I was too busy to ship it. Everyone has rough weeks. The late shipment I am responsible for. The comment about the way it was shipped is false, The card was shipped in a bubble mailer, card board around the top loaded card in the team bag and placed in the bubble mailer. The card was not reported as damaged and was shipped with care and was unfortunately mailed late. Apologies for the lateness.2025 Topps Series 1 Jackson Merrill #125 Blue Holo Foil #/150 Padres (#205371169114)
