2016 Little Chase Season Highlights (12-30-16)

Hi everybody,

This week's "highlight" was from one of the many times this season that I hung out with my good friend Secret Squirrel (@dwh944 on Twitter) at my saloon.  Secret Squirrel is a great pal who is both interesting and fun.  If you get a chance...follow him on Twitter.

Chase Utley Photo of the Week (12-28-16)

Hi everybody,

This week's photo is a cool shot of Chase sliding in safe to third base.  I'm assuming my hero just hit a triple but it's possible that he ran from first to third after someone else hit a single (or double).

2016 Little Chase Season Highlights (12-23-16)

Hi everybody,

This week's "highlight" happened early in the season when the Phillie Phanatic visited the NBC 10 studios and started goofing around.  Meteorologist Sheena Parveen managed to take a selfie pic of herself and the Phanatic as he was on one of the many computers at the studios.  She also manages to catch me in the shot as I was watching the Phanatic's hijinks.

Ms. Parveen's last day in Philly was last Friday (December 16th) because she took a job in Washington D.C.  We will miss you Sheena and good luck.  I always enjoyed your weather forecasts and "sneaking" into your selfies.

Throwback Thursday (12-22-16)

Hi everybody,

This week's Throwback Thursday moment is another pic of Little Kringle's visit during the holiday season.  In this shot...Little Kringle waits under the mistletoe for some kisses from the ladies.  I wonder how many smooches he ended up getting?

Chase Utley Photo of the Week (12-21-16)

Hi everybody,

This week's photo is just a cool shot of Chase hanging at first base with Ryan Howard between pitchers.  I believe that is former Phils reliever Michael Stutes throwing warm up pitches as Chase and the Big Piece look on.

Gettysburg Photo of the Month (December 2016)

Hi everybody,

This month's photo was taken in the early evening near the Doubleday Inn in the spring of 2010.  The inn is close to the Peace Light Memorial and is right on the battlefield.  What an amazing view!

Odubel Herrera Signs Contract Extension With Phillies

Hi everybody,

I just wanted to congratulate Phillies center fielder Odubel Herrera for signing a five-year contract extension.  The deal (worth $30.5 million dollars) will keep Herrera in a Phillies uniform through at least 2021 and up to 2023 if club options are exercised.  Congrats again El Torito!

Happy Birthday Chase

Hi everybody,

I just wanted to wish a belated Happy Birthday to my hero Chase Utley.  His birthday was on Saturday (December 17th).  By pure coincidence...yesterday was my birthday as well.  I have decided to honor both our birthdays with some gold old birthday cake.

Charleston Photo of the Month (December 2016)

Hi everybody,

This month's Charleston photo was taken in September of a random building or home that my friends and I found as we were wandering around the Historic District.  I just love the look of the Palmetto trees in front of the building.

2016 Little Chase Season Highlights (12-16-16)

Hi everybody,

This week's "highlight" is a very strange one.  I'm not even sure when it happened.  It may be the result of too many late nights at the saloon or too much cold medicine when I wasn't feeling well.  In any event...I sure hope I ate all of the pizza because it looks pretty good.

Throwback Thursday (12-15-16)

Hi everybody,

This week's Throwback Thursday moment is another pic from a couple years ago when Little Kringle came to visit during the holiday season.  In this shot...Little Kringle is about to snack on some Christmas cookies and hot chocolate.  I sure hope that LK didn't add his "kick" (a.k.a. booze) to that hot cocoa.

2016 Little Chase Season Highlights (12-9-16)

Hi everybody,

This week's "highlight" was from this year's Thanksgiving Day parade in Philly where the super cool LC float made its debut.  I never thought that I would see a float of myself in a parade. :-)

I'm huge...

Throwback Thursday (12-8-16)

Hi everybody,

This week's Throwback Thursday moment was from a couple years ago when Little Kringle first visited during the holiday season.  Little Kringle sure did enjoy drinking eggnog and always made sure to put a little "something extra" to give it a kick.  Come to think of it...he put a lot of "something extra" in his eggnog.

Little Kringle may be a bit of a boozer....

Chase Utley Photo of the Week (12-7-16)

Hi everybody,

2016 Little Chase Season Highlights (12-2-16)

Hi everybody,

This week's "highlight" occurred several months ago when I "hitched" a ride with the Fox 29 Good Day Philadelphia Morning Crew as they drove around Philly.  It was a fun ride and Mike Jerrick, Alex Holley and Sue Serio didn't seem to mind that I tagged along.

Throwback Thursday (12-1-16)

Hi everybody,

This week's Throwback Thursday moment is a pic from my famous bar LC's Saloon.  Here I am serving some rare and little known tobacco liquor to my customers after a Phillies victory.
