Phillies Reliever Michael Schwimer Wants to Know if He’s Allowed to Root for the Giants


Michael Schwimer made it to the Bigs for a stint with the Phillies last season. The reliever is mostly known for his affinity for bikini fitness models and Hello Kitty accessories. But, if you didn’t already know, Michael Schwimer also enjoys the basketballings of the New York Knickbockers and the gridiron prowess of the New York Giants. He recently wrote an email to Grantland—the Bill Simmons we’re-too-cool-for-SportsCenter project—to see if he should feel comfortable playing for the Phillies and rooting for the Knicks and Giants.
