John Kruk addresses interest in running for president: ‘People want us to run’

Former Philadelphia Phillies first baseman John Kruk has been asked about his interest in running for President of the United States, and while he likely isn't too serious about the idea, he admits that it's something he's putting thought into. Kruk and Philadelphia Phillies play-by-play voice Tom McCarthy joined in on a popular cell phone flashing party during a game against the Washington Nationals, something they said they do because they're "an extension of the game" and "men of the people."

Kruk even went as far as to say, "People want us to run." While Kruk acknowledged that it's not totally abnormal to see someone holding a "Kruk for president" sign or wearing a "McCarthy & Kruk '28" shirt, he admitted that he can't imagine himself in the White House for more than four years. Kruk also joked about having fellow announcer Greg Luzinski as his landscaper and taking care of the White House rose garden, as well as Larry Bowa as his Secretary of Defense, though he admitted that Bowa has no business being Secretary of Defense.
