Phillies Locker Room Tour

Here's an email I received the other day:

My name is Mike Milici, I write for the Phillies over at a baseball website, www.bugsandcranks.com

I noticed your pics from your locker room tour and I'm going to use them for a post on the site. The first post should be up tomorrow (5/21) where I'll go over the lockers of Howard, Burrell, Myers, Madson & Gordon. On the 23rd, I'll put up the rest. I just wanted to let you know that in tomorrow's post I'm not going to say where I got the pictures from, just because I don't want people to check the other ones out before I put the post up.

The second post, however, I'm going to thank you profusely for taking them and I will also go back into the first post and edit it to thank you.

I just didn't want you to catch wind of the post first and think I wasn't going to credit you, because I will. Sorry if this was hard to understand, it's late.

thanks,
Mike Milici

Phillies Locker Room Tour: Part 1 of 2

Did you ever wonder what was inside the lockers of your favorite major leaguers?

No???

Cot dammit! If I knew that, I woulda never broke into the The Bank to snap these pictures. I thought you’d be interested in this sorta thing. Oh, well — too late now.

This will be installment #1 of a 2-part series showcasing some of the contents of various Phillies lockers. The blastmaster himself, Ryan Howard is up first. After the jump, check out the lockers of Pat Burrell, Cole Hamels, Brett Myers & Tom Gordon. You’ll also notice that I embedded new teckmology that allows you to zoom in on the photo without saving it to your computer. Enjoy!
Ryan Howard’s locker contains:

• Phillies cap, 26 bats, a bunch of pairs of Under Armour batting gloves
• Ryan Howard bobblehead, an unidentified box also found in Brett Myers’s locker
• These blue things that are also found in Cole Hamels’s locker
• Houston Astros jersey(?), a few pair of socks, Oakley sunglasses, Adidas spikes

Phillies Locker Room Tour: Part 2 of 2
In this second and final installment of “Phillies Locker Room Tour,” we’re going to take a peek inside the locker of 5 more Phillies. Part two features the belongings of Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins, Aaron Rowand, Ryan Madson and Shane Victorino. In case you missed part one, you can check it out HERE. If not, get ready for more of the same. Oh, and remember that there is a menu tab in the bottom left hand corner of each picture that allows you to zoom in on any part of the picture you want.

Ready? Utley’s up first, the rest after the jump.


A closer look inside Chase Utley’s locker…

Up top: a Chase Utley bobblehead in between 2 Phillies caps

Highest shelf: 12 bats, a pair of socks and a yellow visor that reads:

Good Luck Chase
Love Your #1 Fans
Chases Chicks!!

Middle compartment: Some mail, CD’s, a Pat Burrell #5 promotional giveaway hat, a flashlight — it’s kinda hard to tell what the rest of the stuff is

Bottom shelf: Balled up socks, a bat, a couple of baseballs, 2 gloves, an award of some sort, unopened mail and T-Shirts.
