Philadelphia Phillies Top 10 List + Philadelphia Eagles Game


Headline Topic I:  The Best Phillies of the Current Era

Another list has generated some interesting debate and some strong page view numbers.

It's also interesting to see that some readers obviously didn't read the first paragraph of this feature, as their comments have shown. While I have pointed that out here, I've made typos and errors when writing. So, life moves on. Just a side tidbit from this writer's world.  

Which Phillies are in your top 10?

If you have read it, or choose to open this link now, I hope that you enjoy:

Headline Topic II: The Eagles

I surely hope the Eagles can top the Baltimore Ravens today. This is a good early season test. After last week's squeaker win, going 2-0 would be very well received by the fan base.

Classic Headline Topic: The anniversary of Pete Rose's 4,192 hit.

Pete broke Ty Cobb's hit record on 9/11/85. The man was unique in the annals of baseball history. 

For those who are interested, my recent feature comments on Rose's time with the Phillies and the complex feelings that many of us have about his gambling issues:
Phillies' great Mike Schmidt, Pete Rose, and baseball justice

Classic Headline Topic: Three Flyers' Legends

I enjoyed writing two features this week about Brian Propp, Dave Poulin, and Tim Kerr. 
These three Flyers are among the best in team history, so it was natural to pass my 'writing puck' from Propp, to Poulin, and then to Kerr (on the power play of course) during the past three days.

It was great to see both Propp and Poulin at the Winter Classic Alumni game last New Year's Eve Day and to be with them in the locker room after the game. Both are classy gentleman.

Kerr wasn't involved with the game, but it was interesting to learn that he has done some marvelous charity work for children since retiring. 

Here is a link to the story about Propp:

Last, but not least, Kerr's link became available today:

Baseball cards

For those of us who are old enough to remember
When Baseball Cards were King, the spring is always a special time of year.

Bygone days spent with elementary school days and family members opening packs of Topps cardboard gold never truly fade away.

Hockey

Here is a hockey story that all ice fans will like:
