christy in factoryville

This tribute to pitching great Christy Mathewson is on Rt. 6, along the portion of the highway that is named "Big Six". Mathewson wore the number 6 during his famed career. Dig the oxymoron.

Today is Veterans' Day. Once there was a stadium named Veterans' Stadium but those days are way gone. Would any stadium now be named for anything that did not buy the rights?

Just heard a sweet story on Philadelphia radio. On the night between the Monday and Wednesday of Game 5 of the World Series, Cole Hamels and his wife Heidi went out to dinner at a West Chester restaurant. Nobody paid any attention to the two, who were sitting in the middle of the room, until they got up to leave, when everyone in the place stood and gave them an ovation.
