Phillies fan auctions off toupee-less photo of Chris Wheeler

Some fans really do not like Phillies announcer, Chris "Wheels" Wheeler. One fan dislikes the broadcaster so much, that he is auctioning off a vintage picture of Wheels from the 1970s before he starting wearing a toupee.

The black and white photo is from when Wheels was still working as the assistant director of publicity and public relations for the Phillies.The title for the ebay bid reads, in all caps, "Vintage CHRIS WHEELER 1970s Photo PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES NO TOUPEE BALD HAIR RARE."

The auction is being sold by Ebay user sportsil, who really does not like Wheels. He made this pretty obvious in his item description which was written in all caps.

The last two paragraphs are what really settles sportsil's distaste for the current Phils announcer, as he writes,

"PERHAPS THE ONLY THING MORE PAINFUL THAN THE SLUMPS ENDURED BY OUR 'PHIGHTINS OVER THE PAST 2 SEASONS IS HAVING TO ENDURE THE TEAM'S FORMER ASSISTANT DIRECTOR PF PUBLIC RELATIONS FOR ANOTHER YEAR.

WELL, HERE IS A PHOTO FROM "WHEELS" WHILE STILL IN THE PUBLIC RELATIONS DEPARTMENT.....AND THE LAST YEAR BEFORE HE STARTED TORTURING US ALL WITH HIS NEW TOUPEE & NEW GIG IN BROADCASTING"
