Phillies Are The Champions and We Love To Talk About Them
We celebrate the Phillies winning the World Series with a two part show, in one part.
This show is long. Like 90 minutes long. I honestly don’t expect you to listen at one sitting. But if you are a fan of the Phillies, or a fan of baseball, this is a show you must listen to. This is the show you will download, burn onto a CD and keep with all your newspapers and photos to remember this World Series. I’m being serious. Listen to this whole thing and savor it.
First, Kevin Kaduk of Yahoo’s super blog Big League Stew joins us to talk about covering the World Series. How cold was the Auxiliary Press Box? How much did people outside of Philly really care about this Series? Are we bad fans, or just misunderstood (or understood properly)? And what the hell do we do now? Being from Chicago, ‘Duk has some nice things to say about the Phillies and the City of Brotherly Love.
Then, in part two of one (yes, on giant file, sorry), we talk to many of the local Philly writers, bloggers, talkers and baseball lovers about what this means to them, and what this means to the city. Amazing. I was in tears – literal tears – putting this together.
The list includes, in this order:
Nick and Dan
AJ Daulerio, Deadspin
Todd Zolecki, Philly Inq
Buzz Bissinger
Enrico Campitelli, The700Level
Jonathan Tannenwald, Philly.com
Meech.one, The Fightins
John Gonzalez, Philly Inq
Rhea Hughes, 610WIP
Rich Rys, Philly Mag
Dan McQuade, Philly Will Do
Jason Weitzel, Beerleaguer
Jayson Stark, ESPN
UPDATE: Tom McCarthy!!!
There’s a little surprise sprinkled in as well. Amazing stuff, put in to words I could never have the composure or historical perspective to find.
