Phillies reliever Ryan Madson has a lot of love for his hometown of Moreno Valley. The 1998 graduate of Valley View said he has a lot of friends and family who will drive over for Game 3 of the NLDS.

Although he's been spending a lot of time on the East Coast with the Phillies, he had a chance to return home to Moreno Valley earlier this year.

"I loved it," Madson said. "It's changed a lot, now. They're starting to put some stuff in there now. There's Hooters and everything, now. They've got all kinds of restaurants, now. They've got a BJ's. It's blowing up."
