Lieberthal Returns

April 28, 2008 · No Comments

On June 1st, Mike Lieberthal will be a Philadelphia Phillie once again.

The Phillies lifer will sign a contract to retire as a Phightin. The oft-injured Lieberthal played his first 13 seasons as a Phillie before signing as a free agent with the Dodgers for the 2007 season.

Todd Zolecki has more:

Lieberthal holds the franchise record for most games caught at 1,139.

He’s one of the all-time good guys, too.

“Philadelphia has always been a second home to me, so I’m really looking forward to this,” Lieberthal said in a statement. “I spent half my life there and still follow the team closely on television.”

In his 13 seasons with the Phillies (1994-2006), Lieberthal hit .275 with 150 home runs and 609 RBIs in 1,174 games
