Voters Pick Patch’s Greatest Baseball Fan

Congratulations to Kelly Hutchinson, of Wayne, chosen by Patch’s users as the Greatest Baseball Fan 2013.

The race was tight and Little League pictures were popular among our users.

"The photo was taken at Lower Perkiomen Little League field on July 9 last summer at the District 27 Championships Devon Strafford vs. Upper Providence," Hutchinson told TE Patch.

In it, her son Eric is celebrating a big win after a game in which he hit a home run. He's being lifted by players from the previous year's DSLL team, which also won the district championship.

Eric roots for the Phillies, and his favorite players are Chase Utley and Cutter Dykstra, son of former Phillie Lenny Dykstra. Read more on TE Patch.

Hutchinson was presented Monday with the prize package, of

• $100 gift card to Wayne Sporting Goods in Wayne
• A Kevin Frandsen autographed baseball and 3 autographed 8x10 color photos of Phillies players: John Mayberry, J.A. Happ and Roy Oswalt from Carl’s Cards in Havertown
• A Batting Cage MVP card from Grand Slam USA in Malvern

Congratulations again to Kelly Hutchinson, and thank you to everyone who entered.
