Drew silences Phillies' fans
Thursday, August 12, 1999
From wire reports

J.D. Drew capped a tumultuous stay at Veterans Stadium with a long homer, blocking out the boos and leading the St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies.

"God's timing is perfect," said Drew, playing amid massive police and security presence after having batteries thrown at him in the outfield Tuesday night. "The biggest key to me is to enjoy the game and play as hard as I can."

Drew is reviled in Philadelphia for refusing to sign with the Phillies after the 1997 amateur draft.

Asked if anything was thrown at him Wednesday night, Drew said, "No. Not at all. I've got to get going, guys."
