From the First to Final Pitch

The Phillies lost the 2009 World Series last night. I watched the whole game, from the first to final painful pitch. It brought me back to 1993, when Mitch Williams gave up the Series-winning homerun to Joe Carter. The experience was just as heart-breaking as it was when I was 10 years old.

Growing up near Philadelphia, I had first started following the Phillies at 6 years old. I continued to track the team throughout elementary school and beyond. Box scores, players, stats and stories.

Kevin Partel scored 113 goals and tallied 36 assists in his high school career.

He was an offensive force. Yet until this year, he had little playing time for the Flagler College Men’s Soccer team. A position change altered everything.

Partel, a junior, got a chance to play sweeper early this season. He has been starting since.

Last month, Barack Obama became the third U.S. president to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. The Norwegian Nobel Committee lauded Obama for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”

But unlike the countless followers of the lunatic Glenn Beck who think our 44th president is turning our country into Stalinist Russia, there is a more rational argument to be made against Obama’s recent award.
