Andrew Zarzour woke up on Dec. 29, 2001 — the morning of his 21st birthday — in his own bed in Bunn, N.C. He had just had the strangest dream.

In his dream, Zarzour was on the mound warming up for a game with catcher Mike Piazza, like he had so many times the past few seasons. Only he noticed Piazza wasn't wearing his customary LA Dodgers gear. His uniform was red and white. No royal blue to be found anywhere.

Zarzour stopping throwing and just stared at his teammate, forcing Piazza to come out to the mound to see what was going on.

"You OK, Z? You don't look so good."

"Mike, you're wearing a red hat. Since when do the Dodgers wear red hats?"

Piazza just laughed. "Dodgers? We're not with the Dodgers anymore, remember? You know, the big trade -- you and me for all those prospects going to LA. It was all over ESPN."

Zarzour started to panic because he didn't remember. He then pulled off his own cap and stared at it. Amazingly, it was his favorite baseball hat of all time -- the well-worn Phillies' cap he had since middle school. As he pondered what it all meant, he overheard the stadium announcer: "Now pitching for your Philadelphia Phillies -- Andrew 'Big Z' Zarzour!"

It was at this point that Drew woke up. It had been a dream but it seemed so real. Maybe God was preparing him for something...
