Phillies to Play at Ironpigs' Inaugrual Game

The first game for the Phillies' new AAA Affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Ironpigs, will be an exhibition against the Phillies at the IronPigs' Coca-Cola Park at 2:05 on Sunday, March 30. It is rare for the Phillies to play their minor league affiliates these days, and this is a great way to open the new park and to see the Phillies take on their top farm team. The game will be broadcast on the CW Philly.

In other Ironpigs news, a couple of weeks ago they had to rename their mascot from "PorkChop" to "Ferrous" (a name relating to iron), because "Porkchop" is a duragatory term used towards Asian and Portugese People. The fact that we have to change such an adorable name, one thought up by a five-year-old none the less, to be slightly more politically correct, just shows the times we live in.
