@hershey1336 - Unfortunately, Raul is a Damn Yankee now.

It was announced in February 2012 that the Pennsylvania Lottery is going to retire Gus.

@Diehardphillyfan418 - As much as I loved Harry Kalas, sadly, I have to say that it has been revealed that until the last few years of his life, Harry was a very hard drinker, but only in social situations, and did get arrested once for DUI. He had a PHENOMENAL ability to handle his alcohol - he...

@smileyface7727 - If you knew the original Gunsmoke, Matt Dillon (James Arness) was shown as winning a gunfight in the opening bumper just before the show started. This was a gag played by Arness where Dillon LOST the gunfight!

O'Donnell, 2 minutes, charging!

Old King Cole was a merry old soul, and a merry old soul was he. He called for his pipe, he called for his bowl - we all know about old King Cole!

What I can't understand is that this property was in the same family from 1948 to 2010, only transferring in 1973 from father to son. How could it be foreclosed upon that long after sale, especially since they were physicians?

@scottmance - Now Andy Musser is in that same broadcast booth with Harry and His Whiteness. Too bad we can't get that radio frequency here.

Look at me, I can be....Shane Victorino!

@AshburnStadium - Oops - the "Georgia...on my mind" license plates came out in 1997.

@freeyourmind775 - That's because this is our REAL national anthem. I'd love it if they got rid of the "Star-Mangled Banner" tomorrow and replaced it with this masterpiece, which celebrates all of America, not just some obscure 200-year-old battle.

@hoLocronKiller - The parrot sings the Star Spangled Banner a lot better than some of the "professional singers" that appear at sporting events! There's a reason it's been called the "Star-Mangled Banner" quite a lot lately.

It's a shame Harry isn't here to call the return of Jim Thome to the Phillies pinstripes in 2012.

Harry had to get in a reference to his best friend, His Whiteness (whom I honor with my screen name)! I think I can speak for nearly every Philadelphian when I say Harry is greatly missed.

@westxlcr - My nearly 83-year-old mom would agree, but only if the A's were back in Philly - she keeps saying that if she ever hit the lottery, she'd buy the A's and move them back to Philly (although I keep telling her that the Phillies and MLB wouldn't allow it).

There's a small free-admissi...

@all66books - WCAU-530?? I thought WCAU-AM was always on 1210.

@luke1975 - He is a different guy. I just wanted to let you know that Gene Hart is a beloved name in Philly.

@andrelebaron - We like to say in Philly that "it ain't BEGUN 'til the fat lady sings!" With Kate's record of 89-25-4 as of the end of the 2010-2011 season, it usually was OVER for the opponent.

The voiceover at the end is none other than widely-hated Phillies color commentator Chris "Wheels" Wheeler. He was born on August 9, 1945. What's so significant about that date? It's the very same day that Nagasaki, Japan was nuked!

@700gsteak - I'm signed into my sports/Philly screen name right now, but the oldest living person as of January 14, 2012 is Besse Cooper. She was born on August 26, 1896, which makes her 115. There are currently 31 people (all female except for one male) alive who were born in the 1800s.

(Bill ...

@TheUSCforlife - I wouldn't mind seeing Grace take those UCLA colors off, but I think her husband would mind! ;-)

@JoeNJ1 - There are numerous crimes here: If I was a Philly cop, I would charge the stepfather with 3 counts of first-degree murder, 4 counts of attempted murder, 7 counts of aggravated assault, as well as counts of propelling missiles into an occupied vehicle and endangering the welfare of child...

@MaryJoneu - Speaking of the NFL, wouldn't this be the unofficial song of the Tennessee Titans (formerly the Houston Oilers)??

Loved hearing the late, great Gene Hart on this video! Next greatest (other than Bernie's awesome saves) is to hear the original "...for a case of Tastykake!"

For those not familiar, Tasty Baking Co. awards each Flyers player with a case of their goodies whenever they score a goal. Today, mos...

I don't know if it's the sound quality or is Dann so humbled by this award that he's actually cracking his voice? He so deserved this honor. Congratulations, Dann - you have become another of the many "lifers" at Action News. The chemistry in that team, combined with the longevity of much of t...

@TheSimpsonssince90 - Tastykakes are similar to Hostess cakes, but were once MUCH better. However, as I posted here already, the quality has gone way downhill in the last few years. Still worth a try, though!

@gwidener7 - WMMR was really good back in the day, but WMGK has gotten even better than WMMR ever was. (As I posted elsewhere here, I'm old enough to remember WIFI-92 as a rocker in the 1970s - all the good music in Philly was crammed between 92.5 and 94.1 back then)

I guess you are dissing the late, great Hall of Fame broadcaster Harry Kalas, who was also the voice of NFL Films. He often called Philly fans the best in all of sports, and openly adored us with all of his heart. That's because we are some of the most-knowledgeable fans and we are passionate a...

@tchapman1977 - The Hotel Pennsylvania still has that number to this day. However, it's now 212-736-5000. They've had that number since it was PENnsylvania 5000 back when they got it in 1919 (New York Telephone changed the "N" to a 6 when they went to 7 digits), and it may be the phone number t...

The license plate, 9XUQ013, looks like a California plate that won't be issued until about 2020. The current high in CA is in the 6TWRxxx range, and they've been doing that 7-digit format since 1980.

"Rub it on your pantaloons, man!"

(The new version of this commercial doesn't even have that guy or that line)

My screen name is what the Phillies SHOULD have named Citizens Bank Park.

@jfayiii - Gino's is back, and just celebrated their first anniversary in October 2011 under the same Gino Marchetti leadership. They started in King of Prussia, their former corporate hometown, and in the first year, opened stores in Towson, MD as well as Bensalem. They're still expanding, too...

There are supposed to be around 2,000 packs of Krimpets thrown over the walls. For Flyers fans, this works out to around 9-10 cases of Tastykakes!

For Flyers fans, the amount of Tastykakes thrown over the walls (@ 2000 packs) works out to between 9-10 cases of Tastykake.

@rockyfan94 - I completely agree. Alex sounds much better with an American accent. I knew a British woman who decided to ditch her accent two weeks after moving to the U.S., and she succeeded rather well. I wish Alex would do the same.

(Speaking of foreign-born men named Alex, do you hear a ...
