The view early this morning after the plow went up the road. We had about three inches of snow, light and powdery enough to sweep from the front walk.The Christmas e-card from the Phillies featured video clips of five memorable moments from the past season. (No, Cliff Lee was not among them.) Each one was thrilling but the one moment that always comes to mind for me is Jayson Werth's steal of home on a Tuesday evening in May. I was at the game, which was with the Dodgers. Werth stole four bases in all that night. The inning that he stole home, he started out stealing 2nd, then 3rd, then made a straight steal of home as catcher Russell Martin was lobbing the ball back to the pitcher. Werth suddenly blazed down the line from third. It was one of those breathtaking moments when you don't quite believe what you have seen.
