CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Charlie Manuel hadn't worn a tuxedo since his son's wedding, about 12 years ago. For pitching coach Rich Dubee, it had been even longer.
"Thirty years and two days ago," Dubee said. "When I got married."
But today, after the Phillies finished their workout here, Manuel, Dubee, coaches Milt Thompson, Davey Lopes, Mick Billmeyer and Roly de Armas and 23 of the 25 players on last year's playoff roster donned fitted, black & red tuxedos and sunglasses for a photo shoot with the World Series trophy (the only missing players were Pat Burrell and So Taguchi, who aren't back for 2009). The picture will be available in the Phillies' program for April home games. Trust me, it's worth seeing.
More on that, and other tidbits, in today's video.

its a shame Pat the Bat couldn't make the short drive for the photo shoot! I'll bet Tom Gordon and Rudy Seanez were also absent, right? Did Adam Eaton?
By the way Scott, this is the best backdrop you've done so far for your video. I like seeing the field behind you.
Thanks, Andrew. Obviously, Flash and Rudy couldn't be here. Eaton and Kyle Kendrick weren't in the photo, but they also weren't on the World Series roster.
