Daily News | Trea Turner’s comeback is a valuable reminder to Philly fans: Being tough isn’t always the answer.
We were crammed into a cramped coaches’ office at North Carolina State University in, three men who knew Trea Turner as well or better than anyone trading stories about his baseball career and insights into his personality, me scribbling into a notebook for all I was worth, trying to keep up.
So Philly can be a pretty tough place to play. Think that’ll be an issue at all for Trea in his first season with the Phillies?“He’s so levelheaded,” Avent said. “Whatever people think of him, they can think of him.” As everyone here knows by now, Turner received a standing ovation in his first at-bat Friday night at Citizens Bank Park, an episode that ignited a civic debate that rages still.
There’s enough evidence, though, to make the case that the ovation was just what Turner needed, and much of that evidence might seem counterintuitive, based on his reputation before he joined the Phillies. Ask anyone at N.C. State or anyone around Major League Baseball if they thought Trea Turner would lose his confidence for a prolonged stretch of time, and they would have said you were nuts. Turner’s confidence, above all else, was what made him great.
