• Thanks Phils and Dad

    Made it to the game last night, thanks to big brother Joe Mac. Many memories were running through my mind as I sat there in disbelief watching the conclusion of this magical season. Most profound was having enjoyed a similar experience at the Vet in section 234, 28 years ago with my two big brothers and Dad. While he couldn’t be there to enjoy last night’s win, I know he was happy that his three sons were in attendance. This one’s for you, Dad, and thanks for instilling in me a love for the greatest game on God’s green earth.

    Fireworks at City Hall…

    Speaking of that experience, thanks to friends at The 700 Level for putting to video exactly what was happening once stepping off of the Broad Street Line at Walnut and Locust:

    Wheels, maybe there’s hope for you after all…

     

    The final three outs with Harry the K providing the audio. Put this one in the archives, y’all…
