5 Insanely Awesome Dr. J Photos

July 12, 2011

I think Shelton would like to get away for a while.

This is a photo of that insane up and under move in which the Doctor hung in the air for roughly 15 minutes.

To the tin!

This is the view Shelton had in that first dunk.

The only thing cooler than the Doctor himself was his badass kitchen.

Athletics You Should Know: Wally Schang

July 11, 2011

Perhaps the greatest catcher you’ve never heard of, Wally Schang was the backstop on 4 different World Series champions, which was probably a combination of luck and his remarkable skill behind the plate. He began his career in Philadelphia with the Athletics in 1913. He started about half the team’s games, then started 4 out […]

This Week on PhilaPhilia

July 08, 2011

You Philly history and architecture geeks are in for a treat again this week. Some great stuff on the PhilaPhilia site. OLD ASS BUILDING OF THE WEEK: The Witherspoon Building on South Juniper Street has been around since Big Ed Delahanty was roaming the Philadelphia outfield, and it’s just as impressive now as it was then. […]

Everything You Need to Know About Philadelphia and the 3,000 Hit Club

July 08, 2011

The most exciting chase in baseball right now is Derek Jeter’s chase of 3,000 hits. I am certainly not a Yankees fan, but I am appreciative of what is going on in New York. It’s been a few years since we had a real record to cheer for (I’m pretty sure Jeter didn’t do steroids) […]

Horace Fogel: The Strangest Owner in Phillies History

July 06, 2011

The history of sports in Philadelphia is littered with characters that seem more fit for fiction than for reality. Right up there in the Bizarre Hall of Fame is Horace S. Fogel, a former Phillies owner whose career began in sportswriting and ended with a lifetime ban from baseball. This is his story. Fogel was […]

Huge Phillie Blowouts, Sporting News Ranks ’83 Sixers, and a Ballplayer Takes a Bullet

July 06, 2011

The Sporting News recently ranked the Top 10 NBA teams of all time, and the 1982-83 Sixers were ranked 7th, while the ’66-’67 Sixers team was ranked 6th. We may have to match these two teams up in the future to determine who was better. On July 6th, 1929, the Cardinals defeated the Phillies 28-6. […]

Carson of We Should Be GMs Remembers the ’93 Team

July 06, 2011

Carson is a little late to the party, but since he writes for one of our favorite local baseball blogs (We Should Be GMs), we’re gonna let him in anyway. Here were his thoughts on the ’93 team. The entire playoff experience was new to me. The Phils were good in my early years, but […]

Your Memories of Game 6 of the 1993 World Series

July 02, 2011

Yesterday we posted your memories of Game 4 of the 1993 World Series. Today we’ll post your memories of Game 6. I was a senior in high school at a party at my buddy Ryan’s house. I remember me and a couple of guys went up to the his parents bedroom to watch the last […]

Your Memories of Game 4 of the 1993 World Series

July 01, 2011

With the Phils taking on the Blue Jays this weekend, I asked people on facebook and twitter to send me their memories of the 1993 World Series. Most people sent in memories of Game 4 and 6. So we’ll split this up into two parts. Today, I’ll post people’s memories of Game 4, one of […]

Eight-Year-Olds, Dude.

July 01, 2011

We’d love to think all of our hometown players throughout history were the “good guys.” Philadelphia athletes reflect on Philadelphia, and therefore, on Philadelphians as well. Even if they don’t make All-Star teams or bring us a championships, we remain ardently devoted to any player who works hard on the field and carries himself well […]

When the Phils Played the Red Sox in the 1915 World Series

June 30, 2011

The Phillies made their first World Series appearance ever in October of 1915. Their opponents were the Boston Red Sox. It was a competitive Series, but one in which the Phils clearly choked. Three times the games entered the 9th inning tied. And three times the Red Sox pushed across the winning run in the […]
