Daily News | West Chester’s Chas McCormick breaks Phillies hearts, calls it “best feeling ever”
Sprawled on the warning track, baseball nestled in his glove, Astros center fielder Chas McCormick said he looked up into the stands at Citizens Bank Park, saw all these contorted faces of pain.
All that pain McCormick saw, he’d caused it. The defensive gem of this 2022 World Series belongs to a West Chester Henderson High graduate who had zero Division I offers out of high school, went to Millersville University, got drafted by the Astros in the 21st round, had been a playoff hero for the Astros, but hadn’t done much to get noticed before the ninth inning of Game 5.“I was kind of shifted over to right center – he likes to hit the ball the other way,” McCormick said.
“It feels good,” McCormick said of that part of it. “I have the ball. I’m in control. It didn’t go over the wall. Just how quiet the stadium was.” “Hey, I’m from here,” Nancy McCormick said of how she’s usually talked Phillies fans down, most thinking it was pretty cool when she explained where their son was from.
