Sure, he had an electrifying debut, and is the Phillies' most highly-touted offensive prospect since Howard and Utley. But I imagine there's another thing- there are a whole lot of people in Philadelphia named "Domenic," or some spelling variation thereof. I bet at least 70 percent of Phils fans have at least one relative by that name.
There's a similar dynamic at play in Minnesota, where there are roughly 70,000 people with the last name "Peterson."
