  • Grimm Falls Short of Induction, but All Isn’T Lost in Hall Bid
    Grimm falls short of induction, but all isn’t lost in Hall bid By Paul Ladewski Posted on Monday, December the 7th Charlie Grimm posted 946 victories in his long and successful career as Cubs manager, but what would have been the biggest victory of all eluded him today. The Hall of Fame veterans committee announced that former umpire Doug Harvey and manager Whitey Herzog had received the minimum 12 votes necessary for induction, a standard of which Grimm fell short by a considerable margin. Grimm received three votes among the 16 that were cast, 11 fewer than Herzog despite their remarkably similar managerial careers. Harvey was named on all except one ballot. Of the 10 candidates, Grimm was among five that received at least three votes. “The committee members were instructed to keep their talks private, but I can tell you that we had a thorough discussion about Grimm and his career,” Baseball Writers Association of American secretary Jack O’Connell told the Chicago Baseball Museum. “He had the support of several people in the room, and that should be viewed as a positive. It bodes well for his candidacy in the future.” A native of New Athlens, Ill., Herzog won 53 percent of his games (1,281- 1,125 record) in 18 seasons with the Texas Rangers, California Rangers, Kansas City Royals and St. Louis Cardinals. His teams won as many as 90 games five times. In 19 seasons, all or parts of 13 in a Cubs uniform, Grimm won 55 percent of his games (1,287-1,067) and reached the 90-victory plateau on four occasions.

    Don't count on Phils repeating as champs | Philadelphia Inquirer ... http://www.philly.com/inquirer/sports/39606702.html SPORTS Welcome Guest | Register | Sign In High School Sports email this print this TEXT SIZE: A A A A Posted on Sat, Feb. 14, 2009 Don't count on Phils repeating as champs In five trips to the Series, the team didn't make it back the next year, much less repeat. By Rich Westcott For The Inquirer The euphoria from the Phillies' 2008 World Series victory has yet to subside, but as spring training begins, the speculation already has started. Can the Phillies do it again? Can the team that was one of the best in Philadelphia baseball history and one that captured the hearts of the region win a second consecutive World Series championship? Will there be another parade down Broad Street? While posing that question, which the Phillies and most of their fans hope will be answered in the affirmative, let's look at what the team did in the years after its previous trips to the World Series. The Phils appeared in the Fall Classic in 1915, 1950, 1980, ERIC MENCHER / Staff Photographer 1983 and 1993. Phillies catcher Darren Daulton (right) and reliever Mitch Williams during the 1993 World Despite high expectations, there were no repeats. In the Series against Toronto. last half-century, only one of Philadelphia's major sports teams, the 1974-75 Flyers, won two championships in a row.

A Lesson in Humility and Love Darryl Bloodworth One of the scripture passages that has always been beyond my capacity to fully grasp is Philippians 2: 6-8: Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death- even death on a cross. Even with my lack of theological training I can understand this passage to say that Jesus gave up or limited his powers as a divine being equal with the Father to become human and die a humiliating death on the cross. How can we even begin to understand the depth of love that God has for us to send Jesus to do this? I still can’t fully understand such love or such humility, but a special period of time with my own father gave me a small glimpse of why God might do what he did. 1 My father was a professional baseball player.
