Tug of love

Ever wonder how famed Phillies relief pitcher Tug McGraw got his nickname "Tug"? Tug (Frank) McGraw and his siblings were breastfed. Tug was an avid feeder and would "tug" while being nursed. Recently the Phillies honoured their 10 greatest moments in the century. Number 1 will surely be their 1980 World Series win. Tug threw the winning pitch!
