Insight, observations (and whatever else comes to mind) on the trails of the team that ended the quarter century-long parade drought in the City of Brotherly Love - the Philadelphia Phillies.

Black Friday

Anyone else find it curious/ominous that the Phillies decide to celebrates "70s Night" on a Friday night, late in the season, against the Dodgers?

Okay, it's not Black Friday. But what about Blue Friday?

As I'm listening to some groovy music up here in the press box on 70s Retro night: the grounds crew guys are wearing throw back gear... ditto the ballgirls (I like their look).... but the players?

Unless they're switching uniforms before the game, they're wearing their current duds.

Why?

Break out the powder blues.

Hey, I understand their are far bigger things going on with this team than coordinating with everyone else on 70s night, but I sure bet the marketing department wouldn't mind selling more powder blue gear, which would happen if the team wore it.

And it's all about the Benjamins anyway, right?
