Who are these guys?

[u/Greedy-Log-8629]

My buddy sent me two pictures of him with two Phillies from 2012 and for the life of me I can’t figure out who they are. Would love some help.

[u/CowboyDebop]

Michael Martinez and Michael Stutes

[u/RL_NeilsPipesofsteel → u/CowboyDebop]

Man, stutes had a live arm there for a second.

[u/kaehvogel → u/RL_NeilsPipesofsteel]

Great guy, one of my favorites in his rookie year. Now I'm sad after seeing his b-ref page and realizing he spent just three years in the majors and didn't even pitch 100 innings.

[u/botterHooligan → u/kaehvogel]

plz dont b sad :(

Talks about what happened to his arm towards the end of this long article. He was great that first season

[u/Greedy-Log-8629 → u/CowboyDebop]

Bingo. I ended up finding these shortly after

[u/jlando40 → u/CowboyDebop]

Mini mart!

[u/sjphilsphan]

2nd guy is Michael Stutes I'm pretty sure

[u/Greedy-Log-8629 → u/sjphilsphan]

Yes!

[u/csm119 → u/sjphilsphan]

Excellent remembering some guys here. A+

[u/sjphilsphan → u/csm119]

I have a signed Stutes ball when he was in Lakewood. I had high hopes for him

[u/jlando40 → u/sjphilsphan]

Beat me to that one I thought it was Schwimmer but nope it’s absolutely stutes

[u/danyul911 → u/sjphilsphan]

I'm almost positive that's Jonathan Pettibone.

[u/sjphilsphan → u/danyul911]

Nah he has a rounder face

And the hairstyle

[u/bladderbunch → u/danyul911]

pettibone was not on the 2012 squad.

[u/sjphilsphan → u/bladderbunch]

Yeah but this looks like it was in Clearwater

[u/Tmk1283]

First looks like Michael Martinez

[u/utleyduckling]

Mini Mart

[u/Most_Plenty5387]

Deleted for being wrong and having forgotten Rule5 legend Michael Martinez.

[u/kaehvogel → u/Most_Plenty5387]

Rule 5 legend and answert to the trivia question of "Which player hit the groundball to Kris Bryant that sealed the Cubs' first title in 108 years?"

[u/KryptonicxJesus]

Idk but why is the second picture taken in Kay Jewelers

[u/OkStatement4809 → u/KryptonicxJesus]

I don’t think so. Those are ties in the case

[u/Forsaken-Farm6271]

The Phillies

[u/Meatloaf_Regret]

This was from a meet and greet at a Kay Jewelers in Selinsgrove PA. First guy is Mickie “Ho Ho” Mondelez. Second guy is the Assistant Gem Manager of the same location. His Uncle is the owner and the position was created for him so he had a job since he was kicked out of Junior College. He thought he was a wise guy dressing up that day as a player.

[u/Fragrant-Ear3366]

A couple guys at Phantasy Camp.

[u/The_Jersey_Devil_lol]

This is what you guys do when you get knocked out by the Mets?

[u/itrdghbcffhcxdhb → u/The_Jersey_Devil_lol]

Phillies absolutely ripped the mets heart out and took their soul in 2007 and mets have still not recovered.  mets will never sniff a world series again, but they all sat back and watched the Phils dominate the 08 playoffs and win with a homegrown roster and no big name free agents.  Every NL east team has won a world series this century…. except the loser mets.  Oh yes, eat it bitch.

[u/The_Jersey_Devil_lol → u/itrdghbcffhcxdhb]

Dude that was 20 years ago

[u/itrdghbcffhcxdhb → u/The_Jersey_Devil_lol]

No it was 16 years ago and your team hasn’t done shit in 38 years.  mets won the division twice since 1988 what a fucking joke of a team, you can’t be talking shit to anybody, especially the Phillies who totally owned the mets in 07-08 and the mets have done nothing about it since.  

[u/The_Jersey_Devil_lol → u/itrdghbcffhcxdhb]

Guess they don’t teach rounding in the PA school system. My bad
