On Monday, there was an incredibly interesting article on the benefits Barry Bonds receives from the body armor he wears on his elbow. It's not just protection. The entire discussion and debate is here: 1, 2, 3. [hat tip]
Profiled in yesterday's Inquirer, Phillies fan Tim Riley is heading to every minor and major league stadium this season for charity. That's quite the sacrifice, I think I might try and play golf every day for charity. [In all seriousness, it's a great idea and a great cause, good luck Tim!]
As of today, the Phillies have a 34.4% chance of making the playoffs. There's a ton of scenarios under which it can happen.
Tiger Woods first golf course design project in America will be near Asheville, North Carolina.
For today's start of the PGA Championship in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the heat index will be 105. Might want to have some Gatorade.
Jim Tryon takes some great photos at Citizens Bank Park. Here are two of one of Ryan Howard's home runs on Tuesday night against the Marlins. First, second.
Finally, the Connie Mack Chapter of the Society of American Baseball Research (SABR) had an announcement in their newsletter that I want to pass on:
A very generous offer has been made by one of our local members Dan [surname withheld for privacy]. Dan has approximately 100 baseball reference publications (guides, TSN record books, Who's Who in Baseball, etc.) that he would like to put in the hands of a young SABR member interested in research. These are not intended for collectors nor are they being offered for someone to sell. Dan would like to see someone get a good start with his/her research reference collection and would like to give them all to one person.
If anyone has an interest, I'll pass on the contact information.
