Ben Wenk, Phillies fan

Three Springs Fruit Farm in Adams County has been doing Philly farmers markets for the past four years. Coincidentally, the Phillies have won the NL East for the past four years. "Coincidence?" asks farmer Ben Wenk. He thinks not. Wenk just released his fourth annual Phillies Apple Line-Up, that likens each player to a variety of apple he grows on the family farm. Some pairs shouldn't surprise you: Halladay as the Honeycrisp, the "perfect eating apple" for Doc's perfect game; Victorino as the Empire because "good things come in small packages;" and Ruiz (his ni-name ees Chooch, if you haven't heard) as the underrated Golden Delicious. Peep the whole line-up on the Wenk's blog and try to ignore the fact that Three Springs, which is located down near the Maryland border, also does an Orioles Apple Line-up. Word is they're all rotten.
