Tug McGraw is back with the Phils.
In a ceremony before Game 3, Tim McGraw, son of famed Phillies closer Tug McGraw, who closed out Game 6 of the Phillies lone World Series in win 1980, reached into his pocket and dropped some of his dad's ashes on the mound.
It's a Field of Dreams moment for the singer, who recorded his hit "Live Like You Were Dying" about his dad's fight with brain cancer.
Tug died of of the disease in 2004, but his slogan "Ya Gotta Believe!" has been a rallying cry for Phillies fans for almost 30 years.
And I know one little kid who loved the man.
