My former Phillies teammate John Herrnstein would have been 82 years old today. A caring and humble man, John was always more than “just a baseball player”. A few years older than me, We played together in Little Rock (1963) and in Philadelphia until he was traded to the Cubs (along Fergie Jenkins) in 1965….

Remembering Jimmy Wynn
Jimmy Wynn passed away last night. This SABR article was written by Mark Armour in 2014.

Remembering Pops
Wilver Dornell Stargell would have been 80 years old today. Sadly he passed in 2001, much too soon for someone that enjoyed life as much as he did. I miss him every day. Of course everyone knows he was a great ballplayer, but to me he was a greater friend. Although my team were always…
