Headline Topics: Election, Hurricane and the Coming Storm
The Presidential election has been decided. Hopefully everyone who was "family" and "friends" before yesterday can retain their titles today. In a time of emotional victory, or defeat personal tensions can run high. Onto today, tomorrow and the future for everyone inside the United States.
Like everyone, I'm very concerned about those poor souls who have been affected by Hurricane Sandy. This crisis will go on indefinitely and the re-build will take who knows how long to complete. Help anyone who you know is involved and those who you don't know either. Others would do the same if it was you, your family and friends.
On top of everything a snow storm might hit the East Coast today. Help and pray is all that I can say.

NHL Labor Talks
--->>>>On a much less important note, the NHL seems to be making strides in its labor negotiations. As a hockey fan, here's hoping that a deal is reached and the "Black Friday" start of this season can begin.
Not only do people enjoy watching this game, but the economic impact on the cities that are losing game dates is significant.
Labor peace is hopefully around the corner.

Each of these Flyers' legends (Brian Propp, Dave Poulin and Tim Kerr) deserved their own feature article:

Hockey Headline Topic: NHL
If talks go well, there is plenty of time for the NHL start its season within a month. We can only assume that would also allow the Winter Classic to be put back on the docket as well.
Of course, assuming anything during negotiations is very speculative. So, time will tell if a deal actually gets done.

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.

Classic Headline Topic: Hope for Phillies' Darin 'Babe' Ruf
Seeing Darin Ruf hit numerous home runs out of a Double-A park in Reading was thrilling. Seeing him hit his first major league home run, during the first game that he started in left field for the Philadelphia Phillies was priceless (to coin an advertising cliche.)
Will he actually develop into a major league player? Could that happen by next season? No one knows the answers to these questions, but personal stories have always drawn me to this specific game.
Here is my feature article about him.
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:
