10/21 road

Another view along the way home from the post office.

This morning I happened to catch Billy King, former (and very cool) general manager of the 76ers, calling in to a sports radio station. King still lives in the Philadelphia area and he and his wife, a huge Phillies fan, have had season tix since the new park opened. They were getting ready to leave with their two young kids for the games in Tampa. King related that when he got fired from the Sixers, one of the first things he said to his wife was that they'd now be able to go to spring training. And they did. I love cool stories like these and love how the sports fraternity in Philadelphia support each other. Ed Stefanski, the current GM, is actually from Philadelphia and he was at the games in LA.
