A shrine to Phillies relievers in the place where you relieve yourself. Potty humor, mustache jokes & bad puns. Sometimes even a little more than that.

When Nature Calls, Phillies Relievers Have a Place to Go (Published 2022)
With the Relief Room, a Phillies fan has created an over-the-top shrine to baseball’s most unsung players. It is in his downstairs bathroom.

There's a fine fellow named @tylerkepner.bsky.social that wrote a fine piece on this modest bathroom shrine. I continue to be flattered and honored that he still chooses to come Relieve himself here.

Is this better than visiting @thereliefroom.bsky.social? Probably 1a and 1B? Or would it be more fitting for the Relief Room to be Number 2.
Ok, that was bad.

Jordan Romano impressions…I like that he’s hairy and fidgety and that he talks to himself. Now just stop walking dudes and we may just have a love affair.

Jordan Romano could be the first person inducted into this prestigious bathroom shrine to wear #68

I went to the card show in Oaks today and found some real beauts. None better than this 1972 Puerto Rico league Jesus Hernaiz or this Jim Kern patch that is clearly a spitting image of him.

Spring training unofficially began with Jesús Luzardo and Andrew Painter throwing a football around. Luzardo said he’s full-go, on schedule this spring. Aaron Nola cut his hair. José Alvarado lost some weight. It’s 76 degrees.

Today is the 42nd day of the year. We all know that Toby Borland is the last #Phillies player to wear #42. We give the nod to that Robinson guy b/c he did some great things but we all know why MLB really retired the number. The more Borland cards the better.

Today is the 42nd day of the year. We all know that Toby Borland is the last #Phillies player to wear #42 & is the real reason that MLB retired #42. Yes that is me in my kitchen holding Toby's game worn cleat. Remember this epic unveiling @tylerkepner.bsky.social?

Happy RR birthday to Cy Moore born today in 1905! He appeared in 71G for the 1933-34 #Phillies & was mostly average. He was born before the internet & telephones & Tupperware & labradoodles. Hell, Cy died before labradoodles were invented. Invented? Breeded? Concocted? Whatever, happy birthday Cy!

Today in Relief Room history 1962 the Phillies announced that Robin Roberts's uniform number 36 would be retired by the team on March 21 making it the 1st number retired by the Phils. He also has the 1st statue to ever be in a pic with a guy wearing Tom Hume's face on his shirt. Truly rare air.

Happy RR birthday to Bill Dawley born today in 1958! Dawley never started a G in his MLB career which we love. His B-Ref Similarity Score has him likened to Warren Brusstar & Mike Proly & that's good company. Speaking of good company, check out Whitey & Mike Maddux chilling in the background.

Today in RR history 1946 Frank Hoerst was formally discharged from the Navy w/ the rank of lieutenant. He played his entire career w/ the #Phillies w/ a 3+ year military break. He was probably a better basketball player but the NBA didn't exist yet. He did go on to ref in the early days of the NBA.
