PhoulBallz Interview With Carlos Ruiz


Carlos Ruiz spent the past couple days rehabbing from concussion symptoms with the Phillies Class A affiliate Lakewood BlueClaws. The stop was a success, as Ruiz went 4-for-8 with 2 doubles in two games played for Lakewood. "Chooch" is expected to be activated to the Major League roster this weekend. I had the opportunity to speak with the man they call "Chooch" about his return to his minor league roots, the Phillies pitching staff, his feelings on the phans as well as his feelings on frozen treats.

This interview was recorded during BP. Afterward, I fetched my laptop, headed to the lockerroom and showed the .gif image to Chooch. He laughed, but was fixed on the TV, watching Cliff Lee/Rangers news unfold.
After the game, he passed me on his way out, shook my hand, then thrusted his fist in true IceCream4Chooch fashion and smiled at me.

It is official- Chooch loves IceCream(4Chooch)!

We will start things off properly by going with a highly recognizable hip hop star. 50 Cent stays constantly relavant by consistantly creating radio friendly material to help sell (G) units, while he "keeps it real" by still rapping about the thug life he lived before becoming the 2nd highest earning black entertainer in America. 50 is seen here in a recent interview rocking a throw-back Phillies cap. Next up we'll use a throw-back screen cap from what may be the very first major appearance by a rapper wearing Phillies gear. Chuck D, of legendary rap group Public Enemy, wore a Phillies cap in the music video for rap anthem Fight The Power in 1989. The song was the lead single from the soundtrack for Spike Lee's film Do The Right Thing . Next up we'll go with some home grown tal...
