 Happy New Year to everyone who helped me to hit the one million reader mark during the weekend of 12/17/11. My first Yahoo Sports story was published on 2/1/11.

Phillies

It has been announced that Doctor's have cleared Ryan Howard to begin exercises.

The timing of this announcement might indicate that if all goes well, the Phillies first baseman could start the season sooner rather than later.

Of course we won't know what his physical progress truly is until spring training arrives.

Hopefully, he returns by the beginning of May and remains healthy throughout the year.
