Mar 9

My grandfather gave me a transistor radio in 1964. A freaking space ship. I listened to the Philly games every night in my bedroom. My imagination ran wild. Phil’s had a big lead late in the season, the World Series Tickets were already printed. And then, poof. No Phillies in the World Series. That radio was the greatest gift I’ve ever received. Mostly because it was from my Grandpa whom I was named after and he died in 64 before the season started. Thx for the memories.

Dump the DH indeed. Who the hell has more time for batting practice than pitchers?

If only the kids would listen to Old People.
