Shane Victorino doing his part to keep the newspaper industry afloat

Shane Victorino took out an ad in the Daily News to thank Philadelphia, where he developed into a starting center fielder despite long odds early on. Mahalo, Shane. And feel free to keep purchasing ad space.

He gave his all to the Phillies. He will surely be missed now and in the future by his fans. Back again, someday?

The purchasing ad space comment was a light hearted joke. You obviously didn't understand the title of the article about keeping the newspaper industry afloat. You know that printed media is hurting right? You did read the title right? Yet you don't get the connection. There was nothing wrong with what he said but I agree that he should have carried it further and more seriously.

A good man. And yes, it is possible he could return. I think he knows he had it good here. He'd be the kind of guy we should re sign, then keep in the organization afterward, to help teach young guys how to hustle. A real Philly guy.

Well miss you Shane but all I need to do is turn on my local station to catch the Dodgers game (even though I hate 'em)so for me, I'll see you around.
