Daily News | Houston Astro and West Chester native Chas McCormick ‘can’t wait’ to get booed in Philly at the World Series
fan, knows he’ll likely get booed when his name is called Monday night at Citizens Bank Park.
McCormick, 27, played three sports at Henderson — football, baseball, and basketball — and had no dreams of reaching the majors when he graduated in 2013. He simply wanted to play college baseball like his brother. His options were from the Division II Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference: Kutztown, Bloomsburg, and Millersville. His older brother, Ryan, played at Millersville so that’s where McCormick went.
“Playing low A, high A, with how good this team was, I still was like ‘I don’t know if I’ll ever make the big leagues. I could play minor league baseball for a while,’” McCormick said. He spent six seasons in the Houston organization playing in towns like Corpus Christi, Texas, Davenport, Iowa, and Buies Creek, N.C. But McCormick still sounds like he stepped off the set of. McCormick’s excited to go “hohme” for the “pohst” season and play in front of his “famely” and friends. McCormick, a diehard Eagles fan, is still a Philly guy.
