BY SCOTT LAUBERST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- As the Phillies took the field for batting practice, a few fans along the third-base line, near the Fox pregame show stage, raised a sign that read "Only God saves more than Brad Lidge."
Lidge was overwhelmed.
You see, Lidge is a student of religion. Literally. He told a few of us the other day that, in his "free" time, he's taking online classes from Regis University in Denver and working toward a degree in religious studies.
"That's pretty unbelievable," Lidge, 47-for-47 in save chances this season, said upon seeing the sign.
Then, as he ran to the outfield, he stopped to shake hands and take pictures with the fans who created it. He also autographed the sign.
Very cool stuff.
