WHYY- Harry Kalas Special
I recently received an e-mail promoting Ken Burns' documentary, The Tenth Inning, which aired last night on WHYY last night, and will continue tonight. The e-mail also sent a site that reflects on Philadelphia's baseball history called Feeding the Passion. On that site, I found an interesting documentary on the career of Harry Kalas.

Phillies Past & Present Book
There's nothing better than a great book about baseball. Rich Westbook, a baseball historian and author, has written The Phillies Encyclopedia, Phillies Essential, and Tales from the Phillies Dugout. His newest book, Philadelphia Phillies Past & Present is now available.
"The Philadelphia Phillies franchise has been providing thrills and chills for its faithful fanatics for more than 125 years—with the 2008 World Series victory providing the ultimate high for the team and its city. The Phillies have boasted great legends of the game, including sluggers like Chuck Klein, Richie Ashburn, Mike Schmidt, and Ryan Howard; beloved characters like Tug McGraw, Lenny Dykstra, and John Kruk; and stellar hurlers from Pete Alexander to Robin Roberts to Steve Carlton to Cole Hamels. The team has left its fans alternately inspired and frustrated, while forever retaining their loyalty and passion through more than a century of baseball. Philadelphia Phillies Past & Present offers a richly illustrated tour of the players, managers, ballparks, and moments that have defined the Phillies of the past and of the present."

I Scream You Scream We all Scream for Phillie Phanatic Double Play!
The day has finally come... the Phillie Phanatic has his own ice cream flavor!A product of Turkey Hill (who also makes the popular Phillies Graham Slam ice cream), the Phillie Phanatic Double Play is a "Bavarian cream-flavored light ice cream with caramel corn and caramel swirl."
“After a season like last year, we knew we’d have to step up to the plate with a
little something extra and that’s why we developed the new flavor,” said Turkey
Hill President Quintin Frey, adding that a lot of thought went into creating a
flavor for the team’s outrageous mascot. “Just like the Phanatic, this ice cream
is a little unusual but it’s something you can’t help but love.”
Where can you buy such a delicious treat? At Citizen's Bank Park of course! Even better; it is in "pint size rookie" form. It will also be sold anywhere you can purchase Phillies Graham Slam ice cream.
After you buy your ice cream, it gets better than having the satisfaction of eating a mouth-watering desert. You get a chance to win Phillies tickets! All you have to do is look at the code on the specially-marked containers of Phillies Graham Slam and enter it on Turkeyhill.com. Every week, four tickets will be given away. A total of 81 winners will be selected throughout the season and the Grand Prize winner will receive 15 luxury suite tickets to a Phillies home game in October. I don't know what sounds sweeter, the ice cream or the contest?
*Swing and a Long Drive is not responsible for dissatisfaction of this ice cream*
