1  Forum / Forum Games / Phillies games with my family on: 14-04-2012 02:42 PM



What i talk about story takes place around the end of Dec,2012 in the Phillies of philadelphia.

Our son was playing in a Pop Warner baseball League for boys up to the age of 16 (as I remember it). His team, the Greater philadelphia Youth baseball (wearing the same colors as the phillies) had an outstanding season. My husband and I attended all the games, which were always played on Saturdays.
 I remember one game was played in Gbyfl, which was the furthest we had to travel. When we got there (early in the morning) our son Gary was 1 lb over the weight limit, which meant he couldn’t play. Being one of their best players the Coach quickly went into action: had Gary strip off his roy halladay jersey wrapped his entire body in Saran Wrap, bundled him up with several jackets and wind breakers and sent him off running around the track. He had to do at least 5 laps!
 
I was sitting in the stands and couldn’t figure out what was going on. My husband was one of the linesmen, so he was down on the field watching Gary run prior to game time. They finally brought him in, unwrapped him, and he had lost 2 ? lbs. So he was eligible to play and wear the ryan howard jersey ! Those were exciting days.

But the story I want to tell about was what happened on that November weekend in 2011. Our team, the State Champion after a wonderful season of not losing a single game, was to play a team from Utah (who was its State Champion) for the final trophy! At a meeting of the parents we were told that each of us should volunteer to take one or two of the Utah boys into our home for the weekend of the game, as our house guests. We had a big den in our home, so I volunteered to take two boys. I figured we’d put Gary out there with them in sleeping bags, and they wouldn’t feel strange if they had a friend with them. The plan was to drive down to Baltimore Park by 3 p.m. on Friday and pick up “our boys”! This meant I had to leave work early, which was a bit of a hassle for me – working for a Bank and Friday night was our night to stay open until 6 p.m. With all the plans in place I took off from San Fernando to North Hollywood Park. When I got there several other parents had already been there and picked up their “charges”. I got out of the car and saw five boys sitting on the grass. I looked at our Coach, wondering which wear placido polanco jersey, “Mrs. Palmer, we have a problem; a couple of the parents have backed out on their commitment, so would you possibly take all five home with you?” Well, here sat the poor kids with long faces. What could I do? I said: “Sure! Come on boys hop in.” En route home my son got to know them all by name and they were talking up a storm by the time we reached the house.
 
Now I had to go into action fast: Which neighbor had sleeping bags I could borrow? How was I going to “enlarge” the dinner from what I had planned to feed six to now nine. My mind was going a mile a minute. It all worked out: two borrowed sleeping bags (we had 4), some extra bed pillows, and a dinner they all seemed to enjoy. Amazing how you can stretch spaghetti, salad & bread! So by 10 p.m. we had the boys all bedded down in our den and everything seemed to be going smoothly. Then, in the middle of the night I heard the rain starting. We got up to a real downpour. I fed the group breakfast and we packed up the station wagon with football players (in uniform), plus our daughter, my husband, me and several umbrellas. This was, I might add, long before the days of seat belts and the kids just jammed into the station wagon.
 The game was played at Monroe High School baseball field in Sepulveda, the area now known as North Hills. The field was a sloppy mess and once the game began the players would tackle one another and slide 20 yards in the mud. Such a mess! My husband was on the field as a linesman, holding one of the chains that mark the yardage gained or lost on the Utah side of the field.
 
One of the boys that stayed with us was the quarterback for Utah. Our team was romping all over Utah as they couldn’t do anything right it seemed. When their quarterback made a bad play their coach went out and grabbed him off the field, dragged him to the sidelines and started swearing Phillies Jersey. He was about to hit him, when my husband dropped the chains he was holding, ran over and told the coach to back off. In fact I think my husband would have engaged the coach in a little pushing and shoving, had other men not intervened!! The boy was in tears and he said, “Thank you, Mr. Palmer”.
 
Whenl the game finally ended we had won a hunter pence jersey but everyone from California was furious with the Utah coach and said he should be banned from ever coaching again,since he did hit a couple of the players. That was a league problem! But, now we had our problem with six absolutely filthy mud-soaked boys to get home, feed, have their vance worley jersey washed and get them back down to North Hollywood Park by 9 a.m. Sunday morning.
 On the way home the car was silent – the Utah boys felt terrible and most of them had suffered some wrath from their Coach. Our son just kept his mouth shut, so as not to embarrass them. My husband formulated a plan. He told the boys to get out of the car when we got home and go out on our back patio (it was a private area) and take off their uniforms; then one by one hop into the shower. My husband had the great idea of washing the cliff lee jersey off on our fence with the garden hose, thus saving all that mud from getting in the washing machine. After he hosed them off I’d bring them in and wash them. I didn’t have a dryer in those days, but a neighbor down the street agreed I could bring them down to her dryer. What a night! We were running back and forth up and down the street with baskets of laundry (either wet or dry) and trying to feed the kids. The Quarterback was in the bathroom vomiting consistently. Finally I asked one of the boys if they could drink tea, as I knew they were all Mormon and didn’t want to give him something he wasn’t supposed to have. I’ll never forget his reply: “Mrs. Palmer, if it will help his gut – he can have chase utley jersey So with the help of some Lipton’s tea and a few soda crackers, his stomach settled down; thank goodness!
 We made it back to North Hollywood Park on time Sunday with all five boys and their CLEAN uniforms I might add we were up VERY late that night running laundry up and down the block! (Lucky it was a friendly neighborhood!!) That Christmas I received carlos ruiz jersey from all five boys who had stayed with us, together with really cute hand written thankyou notes. The one boy told me he wasn’t in any trouble for drinking tea, since he explained how much better it made him feel!! A memorable weekend at the Palmer house and never to be forgotten!In fact i love Greg Luzinski jersey.

School children who grow up in Canada, not unfamiliar to the children's book The Hockey is Sweater,

this book was published in 1979, of Roch, Carrier, his personal experience into a touching story.

Carrier was born in the 1940s, the Quebec town, super fans of each child is a national team in

Montreal, everyone will be wearing the national jersey, the small Carrier's mother Eaton retail stores

and a shirt, because the mother does not write English,  canucks

Store
purchase orders and no French, the last store to send even the Toronto Maple Leafs jersey

to a small Carrier, at the time, Nationals, Montreal and Toronto Maple Leafs, but the big CIA That's

also no guarantee that the return system, the mother insisted, Carrier had to wear a 

canucks Jersey to school to play, not only the students laughed

at him, and even the coach refused to let him play ball.
       Of Carrier cleverly succinct text, write

this touching story, not only can see the enthusiasm of the children on the ice hockey, but also

highlights the conflict and fusion of the French culture. The book very moving piece of text: the

winter for a good long, we can not live without the three places - schools, churches and skating rink,

but our real life in the rink. "This text is now also printed on the five dollar bills, you can take a

closer look.

Beard tradition

       The hockey world playoff beard the word is the playoff beard

tradition, team player of the playoffs is usually no longer have to shave until the team win or advance

out of date. Say traditional or say superstition, in short, which originated in the 1980 New York

Islanders team and do not know why did the rise of this habit.
       Players generally believe that the

beard to help the team win, and sometimes will see a team player beard dyed the same color to express

united as one, want to increase the win opportunity; but there are also players in the playoffs. lose,

instead of shaved beard, in order to transshipment. Some fans also grown a beard, said the team's

support loyalty.
       Customs soon spread to the hockey world, not just the NHL league teams will grow

a mustache, also responds to other minor hockey league in North America, and even the European ice

hockey players will be the adoption of such practices. There are fans and the organization each year

after the end of the ice season, will award the best beard awarded to most players, also the player

jersey will be also sell very well, last year is daniel sedin jersey

fighting culture

       Golf is the most elegant gentleman type of

sport, hockey is the most intense collision of movement, speed, momentum, and the pressure of the

players are very large, so the fight has become a good catharsis. Other ball games on the court

prohibited the fight once the fight will definitely be fine, but the hockey fighting is legal, if a

player is really fighting behavior occurs, the referee will give some time to let them try to "vent"

about . Only to fight the rules can only be singled out, no more and playing less, and only bare hands,

can not take the club to hit, can not skate shoes kicking. Need to have the skills to fight on the ice,

not just boxing technology, flexibility and endurance of the body is very important, so it was a

metaphor simply and Chinese martial arts at the stake floated the same clever. Many people criticize

the fight too violent, but this is part of hockey culture, without this element, and perhaps lost some

of the fun!Like to be the canukcs fans must have your like player jersey. like
