Happy Birthday Ann Onymous

Hi everybody,

I just wanted to wish my good friend and occasional blog poster Ann Onymous a very Happy Birthday!  Although she has repeatedly tricked me so she can put up (as she calls them) "hot" pictures of my hero Chase Utley.....she's a really great person who gets me lots of food and is one of my best friends.  Happy Birthday, Ann Onymous!!!

2021 Phillies Alumni Weekend

Hi everybody,

It was Alumni Weekend down at the ballpark this past weekend and the Phillies had three separate events to honors members of the organization.

On Friday night former Phillies President the late David Montgomery was recognized after he was posthumously awarded the Buck O'Neil Lifetime Achievement Award during the National Baseball Hall of Fame Ceremonies last month.

On Saturday night former second baseman Manny Trillo was inducted into the Phillies Wall of Fame.  The member of the 1980 World Champions was supposed to be inducted last year but Alumni Weekend was cancelled due to the coronavirus.

On Sunday afternoon former pitcher, Wall of Fame and Hall of Fame member the late Roy Halladay had his number retired by the Phillies in a ceremony where his former teammate Raul Ibanez spoke.  A Number 34 Monument was also unveiled on the Third Base Plaza by Doc's former catcher Carlos Ruiz.

I tip my cap and raise my glass to all the Phillies legends.
