Here's the part that's going to hurt, look away if you need to. He's grown and excelled, even when he wasn't given the credit he deserved. Cole, like Peggy, was a young, shining star for the team that gave him his first chance. With that, I present to you, the Phillies as characters in Mad Men:Ĭole Hamels as Peggy Olson - This one hurts, so I figured I'd get it out of the way first.
