Phillies have the arms and big bats to make a second straight run at the World Series

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:40:57 GMT

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Orion Kerkering sounded a bit like every Phillies fan last year, vowing to score World Series tickets at any price. That he was Philadelphia’s fifth-round draft pick didn’t matter much, Kerkering had to scrounge for tickets like any other desperate fanatic.Good news, Kerkering knew a guy — his uncle — who knew a guy who could get tickets. Kerkering only had to buy his plane ticket and he would have seats with his girlfriend and his father at Game 3 of the World Series.Kerkering rooted on the Phillies from the third row of the upper deck as they blasted five homers against Houston. While the Phillies trotted out four relievers in the win, Kerkering watched and wondered, could he one day — say, 2025, he figured — be the pitcher that gets the call from the ‘pen in the postseason?Why wait?Should the Phillies reach the World Series again, Kerkering can skip the secondary market and friends-of-friends for tickets and instead catch the game from the bullpen.

And again last November, when the FDA refused to accept the company’s application for review.But with the backing of thousands of ALS patients, Brainstorm took the rare step of “filing over pr...
