Daniel Tosh had on the father and little girl who became a hit last year when she threw back a foul ball the father caught and handed to her at a Phillies game. It was a good skit in which the girl had a tea party and was then quizzed on what to keep or throw back among assorted items such as a wad of cash, a hand grenade and a lollipop.
Then, they sat the father and daughter in the stands to re-create the magic moment. But the pitcher was none other than Clay Buchholz, whose wife is a friend of Tosh's.
"It was fun," Buchholz said. "It wasn't like I had to do much acting, I just had to throw a few pitches."
The show wasn't all fun and games. It prompted a disagreement between Christine and me. Tosh asked the dad whether he'd take a free four-year college education for his daughter or four straight championships for the Phillies. He chose the education. Christine disagreed with his choice. I don't think Christine realizes how expensive college is, although I might have had a different answer if our teams hadn't won titles recently.
