Extractions: Commentary on sports...and other stuff too. It is often true that you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, and it's possible that most blogs are the same. But just in case you are judging this blog by it's "cover", then this sidebar item is just for you. While is largely about baseball and the Phillies other sports are covered as well, in particular football and golf Don't like sports? Then there is something wrong with you, but you'll also find posts about food and drink books music , the occasional current affair and other oddities often from the world of media and entertainment on The Back Page Many of 's better posts can be found in The Highlight Reel . Here is a sampling: Interview with Dan Meyer : A highly touted prospect in the Oakland A's organization, Meyer discusses similarities between the Braves and A's, the quality of college baseball, the '93 Phillies, and his inner desire to impress the fairer sex with his batting skills.

Prime Seat Tickets Philadelphia Phillies After 30 years of playing at Veterans Stadium, the Philadelphia Phillies began a new chapter in their history in April 2004 with the opening of Citizens Bank Park. Just as more than a dozen other MLB teams have done since 1991, the Phillies wanted a new ballpark built to replace perhaps the worst stadium in the second half of the 20th century, Veterans Stadium. By the late 1990's both the Phillies and the Eagles (NFL) desperately wanted new stadiums for several reasons. Both teams and the City of Philadelphia agreed on a location and economic terms for new stadiums in November 2000. City Council approved the agreement on December 20, 2000. Like every other team in baseball, the Phillies sold the naming rights to Citizens Bank for $95 million over 25 years, thus getting the name
Richie Ashburn richie ashburn, on the other hand, enters after a 28year wait. Did you haveany bitterness, any resentment, that the baseball Writers of America passed http://citypaper.net/articles/072795/article001.shtml
Extractions: Background: Mike Schmidt can whine all he wants about being underappreciated. But Schmitty's walking into the Hall of Fame on his first try. Richie Ashburn, on the other hand, enters after a 28-year wait. Ashburn, 68, was the Phillies' center fielder from 1948-60, and has been the team's broadcaster for the past 32 years. A lead-off batter, "Putt Putt" Ashburn won two National league batting titles and twice finished second behind Stan "The Man" Musial. Ashburn got on base during his career more than Pete Rose, Willie Mays, and Duke Snider. He once fouled off 14 pitches in a row before walking. Even with a mediocre arm, Ashburn was considered one of the game's finest glovesmen ever. Ashburn was the 1948 Rookie of the Year, the only rookie ever to start an All-Star game in center field. Ashburn's #1 hangs in the Vet, a testament to a great career. What it's like going into the Hall of Fame where the Babe, Ty Cobb, Willie Mays, Ted Williams, all of the greats, are enshrined? I don't know what it's going to be like because I've never been there before. They say I won't know how it's going to be until I get up there. So I don't know how it's going to be.

Extractions: "When Everyone Was Pregnant" George F. Will. Photo Credit: George Will But big muscular Buicks and other fat fifties cars (for which Ike launched the biggest public works program ever, the Interstate Highway System) were not the best symbol of an American decade of pent-up energy busting loose. Remember Ted Kluszewski's biceps, those huge ham hocks erupting from the then sleeveless uniform jerseys of the Cincinnati Reds? (Or, as that team was called for a while in that Cold War decade, the Redlegs.) Baseball in the fifties carried a big stick. Even shortstops, who once upon a time had been considered inoffensive little guys, got into the act: The Cubs' Ernie Banks won two consecutive MVP awards for seasons (1958, 1959) in which he hit a total of 92 home runs. The Baseball Encyclopedia says Kluszewski was 6'2" and 225 pounds. That was mighty big then, but no more. Arguably the most striking change in baseball in the four decades since then is the sheer scale of the players. In 1953 the Indians' Al Rosen had a monster season: .336, 43 home runs, 145 RBIs. He missed a triple crown by .001, to the Senators' Mickey Vernon. Rosen was considered a "burly slugger." He was 5'101/2" and 180 pounds. Baseball is still, as Bill Veeck said, a game unlike others because to play it you do not need to be either seven feet tall or seven feet wide. But by 1987 Nolan Ryan (6'2", 210 pounds) was smaller than five other teammates on the Astros' pitching staff.
