Day 2 of draft: Phillies select former Radnor High star
With the 856th pick of the First-Year Player draft, the Phillies chose Villanova pitcher Jordan Ellis.
The Bryn Mawr native starred on both the hardwood and the diamond at Radnor High. I don't know this officially, but my guess is this is the first time the Phillies have taken a Delco product since picking Springfield's Taylor Buchholz in 2000.
Oh, wait... the Phils also picked Mike Costanzo. My bad.

The Delco Times website was down, apparently, which may be why I haven't been able to blog (or the blog posts wouldn't go through).
So here is me playing catchup. Again.
Thursday as a busy day at the ballpark, highlighted by Charlie Manuel's in-game decision to bench Rollins.
In the notes, the Phils draft a pair of Negro League catchers.
In the real draft, the Phils nabbed a pair of athletic high schoolers at #24 and #34 overall.
Phillies fans receive the praise of future Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr.
From Wednesday, a draft preview - with some names you may now recognize.
And in the game, Brett Myers flirts with a no-hitter but still gets tagged with a loss.

My company does video news stories on great people with awesome attitudes -- they don't get much better than some of the Negro League players who broke barriers in baseball!
You can see a video we did at MLB's recent symbolic draft of Negro League players, which includes Millito Navarro, Peanut Johnson, Charley Pride and Bill Blair as well as Ken Griffey and Dave Winfield.
I hope you enjoy it!
