Amazing picture ..two cuties and awesome scenery. Kudos to the photographer …
I think you should make Random Picture of the Day a daily feature. It really is nice of you to share experiences and family with us…the fans.
Phil, you are such a fantastic person. When I watch your interviews…the maturity you display at such a young age is truly impressive. Keep up the good work …and ..I’ll say it again …your parents raised you right !!!!
Also ..congrats for being Yankee Player of the Month on the It’s High, It’s Far….it’s Caught blog. “Bronx Blogger” Phil Hughes named YANKEE OF THE MONTH
Can’t wait for the Questions and Answers blog ….
Go Yankees 2008 !!!!

First time poster, long time reader…
the picture is brilliant, great sepia tones…I recently took up photography as a hobby, is there a way to share a photo on here. That might be a good contest for the future, best picture in a certain catagory or something like that. Anyway, just wanted to say good luck against my bulls. I went to grad school at USF. I worked with the baseball team and the volleyball team as an athletic trainer.

I have to be honest this whole site is really awesome getting to know you better as a person and more than just a ball player. I’ve been keeping tabs on you since high school, I even played against you. I played for La Mirada.
Good luck tomorrow. Go Get ‘Em!

jboogie (22:19:19) :
That’s a great picture. I like your new “random picture” feature. It’s pretty cool.
Aside from that, I’m walking on cloud nine right now. I noticed a few days ago that they were auctioning off one one of those framed “I want to thank the Good Lord” Joe Dimaggio signs over at MLB.com auctions. This one was signed by our boy Phil and the opening bid was $100. I threw down a bid thinking I was bound to be overbid at some point. The auction ended about 25 minutes ago and I’m happy to say I walked away the winner. I was the sole bidder and snaked it for a cool $100!!! Awesome deal considering Steiner sells them unsigned for $150, and they sell them signed by Phil for $250. And I’ve got mine for $100!!! I’m stoked!! I was literally biting my nails watching the timer count down, refreshing every 2 seconds expecting to see a higher bid.
Keep up the good work Phil. Good luck against So. Florida.

I want to echo what someone else said - this blog is great because you are allowing us to get to know you as a person instead of just a number. Phil, you are truly creating something very special and clearly you now have a bond with Yankee fans all over the world. It’s really wonderful for you to share your life with us -
