Hittin’ Season for WHYY, The Dirty Inning, BP | Order my book on the very bad 1941 Phillies, "Summer of the Cheap Wieners."
PHILADELPHIA—Phillies manager Don Mattingly tells his base runners to stay on the field on the off chance what they've just done is so stupid that there technically isn't a rule for it.
Writing about all-stars who were considered unworthy means I wrote about Terry Steinbach in 1988 which means I wrote about his collision with Kirby Puckett that season. @baseballprospectus.com www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...
They're saying I really got the All-Star Game's number with this one. @baseballprospectus.com
Baseball? And beer? Together?? No one's ever tried it. But I'll be part of the No Bad Hops Live Podcast and Home Run Derby Watch Party at Evil Genius in Fishtown from 6-8 pm on July 13th. We'll talk "Summer of the Cheap Wieners," Phillies, and baseball. Probably have some beers. If it's allowed.
Baseball has been played in hellish heat before, and we've been pretending to like it for quite some time.
Why did you EVER believe? Just inviting the very failure that defines you. Misiorowski will be on that mound at the ASG. Your children tell their friends you're a stranger when you wave.
History is always watching. Buy "Summer of the Cheap Wieners," available now. www.brooklinebooks.com/978195504158...
They mentioned Jim Bunning's political career and how he was an "unbelievably nice man" on the broadcast so I feel obligated to share my favorite Bunning note.
Robert O'Neill? No, no, no;' I'm talking about Robert J. O'Neill, the locker room speech-giver for Team USA in the WBC? The one Mark DeRosa said was his idea to invite? THAT Robert J. O'Neill--
I keep telling you people: The 1941 Phillies have never. Been. More. Relevant. You can't go 2 skeets without hearing about 'em! Buy "Summer of the Cheap Wieners: What the 1941 Phillies were doing while Joe DiMaggio was making history" before it's too late!! www.brooklinebooks.com/978195504158...
PHILLIES: We'd all like you to hit a home run, Alec! BOHM: [sulks] PHILLIES: Maybe tonight? Mm? BOHM: [sulks] PHILLIES: [throwing voice] DO YOU WANT TO HIT A HOME RUN FOR ELMO
Good morning from @baseballprospectus.com. www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...
The 1941 Phillies have never been more relevant, except maybe in 1941, and in that case only slightly! www.brooklinebooks.com/978195504158...
"It wasn't fun." --2013 Phillies draft pick and tonight's starter for Great Britain Tyler Viza after setting a franchise record for losses with the Lakewood BlueClaws in 2014.
Today is pub day for "Summer of the Cheap Wieners!" Thank you to everybody who have shown me their copy and plans to read the story of a very bad Phillies team! Available in paperback and ebook: www.brooklinebooks.com/978195504158...
Finished my next book, "An Abridged History of the City of Philadelphia," today. Feels great
I like reading this like the writer is in awe of Ranger 's accomplishment rather than just beginning the next Player Note.
Hey let's all cheer for this Allen fellow who seems to need a boost. I say he's all right! He's not me, by the way. My address? Why certainly it's 1... 2.... uh, yes, 3, . Followed by the street name, naturally. Again, I really have nothing to do with this
DIRECTOR: You finish casting the Christmas pageant? ASSISTANT: Sure did boss, real fucking Nazis, just like you asked DIRECTOR: what
