Ryan Howard rides a Rascal scooter around Whole Foods

POSTED: Tuesday, October 11, 2011, 5:28 PM

Here's a photo that appears to be Ryan Howard in a Rascal-style motorized scooter shopping at the Whole Foods in Plymouth Meeting. It was posted on Twitter by user @Hadji484 late this afternoon.

Some have questioned whether it really is The Big Piece, who tore his Achilles during the Phillies elimination game against the Cardinals Friday. Looks like him from what little you can see. And for what it's worth, we have reported about Howard shopping there in the past.

UPDATE: While the photo still seems legit, it was not taken Tuesday although Howard was in the market today. Our eyewitness says this afternoon Howard was walking on crutches, with some type of cast or brace on his leg, wearing an old-school Phillies track suit outfit and accompanied by fiancee Krystle Campbell.

UPDATE: Crossing Broad confirmed that the scooter photo was taken Saturday.

    I don't believe he was there at all. He just had the surgery. I doubt he feels like shopping a day or two after the surgery. Is he even allowed to walk on his ankle already?

    Thanks for confirming it. At least someone at Philly.com went to school for journalism.

    And it came to him "AT NO COST.....NO COST TO ME." This quote came from RH while in the Poultry section..........I wonder, did Ryan get the free Grabber or the free deck of playing cards for calling in? I believe it would be of greater benefit for him to have taken the Grabber as his free gift. That way he can reach for the potato chips in the cupboard without help. Potato chips are required munchies while he watches his strike outs on his new VERIZON DVR over and over and over and over......

    avoidsundance, Ryan didnt have his operation until after he was spotted there. So, in addition to you avoiding sundance travel, maybe you should avoid posting on stuff you have no clue.
