A bewitching clubhouse scene

ST. LOUIS - You just never know what you're going to see when you walk into a big-league clubhouse. You might find Roy Halladay displaying the same sort of remarkable command with a toy helicopter that he has with his arsenal of pitches during a game; that's a common sight in the Phillies clubhouse at Citizens Bank Park. You might see a hitting display from Joseph Contreras, the youngest son of Phillies reliever Jose; the kid is talented beyond his years.

But what we saw in the visitors clubhouse before Wednesday's game at Busch Stadium was as unpredictable as it gets.

Sitting in front of a flat-screen TV, a shirtless Jimmy Rollins was watching Elizabeth Montgomery in Bewitched.

"Mick wanted to watch it," Rollins said, referring to bullpen coach Mick Billmeyer. "I let him enjoy it."
