My dad still carries his childhood Allen card in his briefcase

That's wonderful.

Bring up Allen or Lefty and he'll reminisce for hours. I love it

I’m so glad she writes about the Phillies, sir. I hope she writes books like Leavy one day.

Chili Dog MVP is a fine book about his years in Chicago. We loved him.

Amazing to think that the Inquirer had no women on the sports desk when they hired her.

It is not easy to get athletes and those who know them to break through the locker room wall of cliches and platitudes they need and reveal genuinely human about themselves (as you know well). Yet she manages to do so routinely and beautifully.

Yeah it’s tough! I don’t think I’d want to try with an MLB team (but I also want to know less about the Phillies off the field)

Kudos to @byalexcoffey.bsky.social on a great article. I enjoy reading her articles.
