What toy’s popularity took off after founder George Hansburgh convinced the Ziegfled Follies chorus girls to use it in one of their acts?
A Little Weekend Reading
Here’s my piece this week from the Philly Post on my decision to give soccer a fair shake, and quit being a hater.
Here’s an awesome picture of Shibe Park drawn in 1946.
The story of John Coleman, the Phillies pitcher who set an MLB record with 48 losses in a single season.
Oh, and that poster you see above? That’s for a show next Friday at the Shubin (4th and Bainbridge), and it’s going to be incredible. Some of the funniest people in Philadelphia (plus me) telling stories from their childhood. Should be a blast.
