Collegeville Bakery Debuts 'Rhys Hoskins Shake' For Charity

The shake was chosen by the Phillies star himself, and a contest is offering free shakes and the chance to meet Hoskins in Collegeville.

COLLEGEVILLE, PA — About a year ago, Rhys Hoskins was just a dream to attentive Phillies fans, as the budding slugger was still at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, his major league debut seemingly forever away. Months later, with a few dozen swings of the bat, Hoskins changed all that, and cemented his place in the history books.

Now, a new season is at hand, and Hoskins is off to a red hot start. To celebrate the Phillies and the start of spring, Collegeville Bakery is launching a new "Rhys Hoskins Shake" that was chosen by Hoskins himself.

A dollar from every sale of the 20 ounce Oreo shake will go towards the fight against muscular dystrophy, an organization chosen by Hoskins.
