The Philadelphia Philllies just won their second consecutive National League Championship, and are headed to the World Series. Ronnie Belliard made the last out with a fly ball to center field. On the replay, I noticed what Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz did: Before heading out to the pitchers mound to join the celebration, he turned to home plate umpire Tom Hallion to say something to him, and made a friendly gesture. My guess is that he thanked him for calling a good game. If so, I admire this., as it’s a classy thing to do.
