Halladay’s appearance with the BlueClaws comes a little more than a year since slugger Ryan Howard made his own return to Lakewood as part of a rehab assignment.
First pitch for Tuesday is scheduled for 7:05, and it is also Jake Diekman “Made the Phillies” Bobblehead night. The first 2,000 fans will receive bobbleheads of the sidearm-throwing former BlueClaw. It is also a Senior Tuesday where the team’s older fans eat for free as well as Faith and Family Night and Farm Night.
