Phillies relievers are playing a new game in the bullpen. They’ve been writing down guesses for the attendance at CBP. Closest without going over wins. ā€œAt the end of the year, see who has the most baseballs and go from there,ā€ Tanner Banks said. philliesnation.com/2025/05/whats-…

These ā€œbaseball nerdsā€ play by 1864 rules, wear wool uniforms, and don’t use gloves. If Civil War reenactors played beer-league softball, it would probably look like the Athletic Base Ball Club of Philadelphia. inquirer.com/sports/a/athle…

The #1 thing my father worried about was not having an education, it was something he told my mother he wanted me to have. Today I’m very proud to say I did it, and I did it for them. So much can be done with this degree and I’m so excited for what the future holds. Thank you!

Was driving Tuesday night behind a guy with a TSHPUSH license plate. So I had to find him Wednesday when the Tush Push wasn’t banned. ā€œRegardless if the Tush Push gets banned, it will live on forever because it’s on my car.ā€ inquirer.com/eagles/eagles-…

Northeast Philly’s Tony Voce was the first Philadelphian to sign with the Flyers. But retirement wasn’t always easy. When he died suddenly last summer, his family learned he had found his purpose by impacting the kids he coached in South Jersey. inquirer.com/flyers/tony-vo…

Found this story while reporting & researching my ROCKY book. Had to tell it. The boxing trainer who showed Burgess Meredith how to play "Mickey" was murdered less than a year after the movie came out. The case remains unsolved. share.inquirer.com/zyesmk

Eagles TE Grant Calcaterra partnered with Lombard House, the Philly bar in Portland where his brother watches Birds games, to sell coffee for breast cancer research. The ā€œCoffee of Championsā€ bag is awesome. wateravenuecoffee.com/collections/be…

The father and son were crazy Philly sports fans. Then they started making custom cleats for the athletes on their favorite teams. And now they have a pair in the Hall of Fame after Cooper DeJean wore them in the Super Bowl. inquirer.com/eagles/eagles-…
