The first 3,000 fans 18 and older attending Tuesday's opener against the Indianapolis Indians at 7:05 p.m. will take home a one-of-a-kind bobblehead of Jamie Moyer in a Souderton Area High School jersey presented by Phoebe Ministries. Moyer has amassed 268 Major League wins since making his Major League debut in 1986 and earlier this season earned the distinction of becoming the oldest pitcher to ever win a Major League game. The Sellersville native spent parts of five seasons with the Phillies, going 56-40 with a 4.55 ERA while also capturing the 2008 World Series.
