Sports are no longer a distraction. Everything around us continues to change, sometimes it feels like an overnight process. The world has seen some drastic makeovers both physically – as a result of COVID-19 – and socially, after the murder of George Floyd. The everyday fabric of the athlete and their cause has truly intertwined with the fans who follow along, in stadiums or on social media. So, yes, it’s time we “stick to sports” but with a brand new 180-degree flip on the definition.

The last two days saw the Phillies add four new players via the MLB Draft. And while the jury is still out (and will be out for years) on whether the organization made the right decisions, there is a singular conclusion that can be made looking at the names of the newest prospects in the team's system: they are really, really cool.

The Phillies, who selected high school gun-slinger Mick Abel with the 15th overall pick have three more selections in the draft.
