Mitch Williams’ car ignited in Wing Bowl parking lot
Philly.com reports that former Phillies reliever Mitch William’s car suffered the same fate as the Phillies 9th inning lead in game 6 of the 1993 World Series:
Waiting on a friend, he pulled his ’06 Chrysler 300 into a parking spot. Soon, “I smelled something kind of burning in my car,” Williams says. “I got out, finally, and saw smoke. I was trying to get the hood open, and I couldn’t get it open, and I looked underneath.”
Someone had left a barbecue grill smoldering in the lot, and it ignited the car’s engine.
