Philadelphia Phillies: Cole Hamels Steals Show at Shane Victorino Charity Event

Shane Victorino held another fashion show for a great cause, but it was pitcher Cole Hamels who stole the show.
Dan Gross of The Philadelphia Daily News reports on Victorino holding his third annual fashion show to benefit the Shane Victorino Foundation.
The Union League was filled with stars helping the foundation whose mission statement is,”dedicated to promoting opportunities for underserved youth. The Foundation engages in projects which provide children in need with educational, recreational and wellness programs.”
This year, current Phillies and their families were joined by the likes of Bernard Hopkins and Joe Piscopo.
The night belonged to Hamels who wore this ensemble which is now the talk of the fashion world. Okay, it’s merely the talk of people who consider capris and highly-cuffed pants to be rather silly.
Hamels is making a habit of creating the fashion stir. Last year when he, as The Big Lead put it, embraced his inner Ace Ventura.
I think he really sets the bar high with his bright-red high water pants. Those things could be more red, but not by much.
From a sports land filled with emerging hipsters, I would expect this wardrobe to feature on a podium shortly.
Of course, the event was without Chase Utley who continues to rehab with what I like to describe as crappy knee syndrome.
His wonderful wife, Jennifer, was escorted by the Phillie Phanatic down the catwalk.
That video should serve to remind other, younger Phanatics that you too can grow up to be a dapper superstar.
Another night of fun and frivolity was had, and Hamels once again hit it out of the park.
Follow me on Twitter for one hell of a good time.
