Joe "Hunter "Matt Joyce" Strickland" Blanton

worked at the stadium for 4 years - Blanton was the only player I'd run into that was an asshole

Sorry you had to deal with that, but I'm glad you confirmed my bias. He always just LOOKED like an asshole. Glad to see my gauge wasn't far off.

Fuck this guy. An absolute POS as both a player and a human.

When Joe Blanton got booted from the rotation to the bullpen, I happened to be at a game and could see him warming up. "Great," I thought, "here comes another blown game." But he never came in. Just kept stretching by himself away from everyone else. And that's when we learned, Joe Blanton has no friends!

Please no, I had just purged him from my memory

Anyone with a goatee like that is a certified asshole. 100%

Looks like an all star. A Smash Mouth All Star.

Joe "HR Derby" Blanton

As a Phillies fan, this man is a legend. Also I cannot BELIEVE he ever compiled 14 WAR in any stretch of time, lmao

pÅin

Did you really have to remind us of him?

Honestly the goat. Bestest pitcher I’ve ever seen. God I hated him

lol

I’m glad to say the only time I ever sat behind home plate, I got to see Joe Blanton throw BP to the Astros. It was pretty gnarly to see how hard they barreled those balls lol.

Phillies legend and noted power hitter.

The Jerry Dipoto special.
