Hazleton relocated
Citizens Bank Park will have a Hazleton, Pa., flavor today. Nearly 100 fans from manager Joe Maddon's hometown will attend the game, traveling to it in two buses. Proceeds from the trip, organized by Maddon's sister, Carmine, will benefit his Hazleton Integration Project. Phillies GM Ruben Amaro provided the tickets. Maddon's mom, Beanie, is also coming.
