Cliff Lee, MLB,, Philadelphia Phillies and Stranglehold by Ted Nugent?
Was I hearing correctly during today’s broadcast of the Phillies and the Brewers? As this is my Sunday ritual, viewing the Phillies and hanging around the house.
Cliff Lee was on the mound today as the starting pitcher. When he batted, “Stranglehold” came on. “Stranglehold” Lyrics Click Link
Seems there is a playlist of music hand-picked by each player that comes to bat at Citizens Bank Park. Some players have multiple. I knew that Chase Utley played Kashmir by Zeppelin, but now the entire team has their tunes. Click Link to view the Play list, quite extensive.
I turned to my son is disbelief and showed him the playlist. He commented, “Really, they play a children’s game Really? He played little league T ball @ 5 years, minors, Double AA, Triple AAA then majors at 11-12yrs at Cherry Hill National and Cherry Hill Babe Ruth 13- 14 years. He as well is an avid sports fan.
I asked, “If you were a Pro baseball Player what music would you bat to?” “Nyan Cat, the Techo Cat.” What, please explain.” “No one would take me seriously and I would screw with the pitchers head.. They would show a continuous loop on the screen at Citizen Bank Park.” He showed me the video below. Wow. I did not know the world of Nyan Cat as the video as over 94 million hits. Incredible.
Myself, I would still stick to Rock and Roll.
BTW, Phillies won 7-5. You go Cliff Lee. Keep playing “Stranglehold.” Please, stay in Philly. Trade rumors up already.

MLB Atlanta Braves 6-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals one game wild card playoff. Questionable infield fly in 8th inning you bet. I started watching the game in the 6th then with 2 extra umpires on the field, then they blow this call?
Game is under protest. But it doesn’t matter.
Major League Baseball must adapt to current technology and submit themselves to review. Watch the tape.

Cole Hamels 28, Philadelphia’s new $144 million dollar man. Cole has decided his families future and signed a new 6 year $144 million contract with the Philadelphia Phillies. It now has stopped him into perusing the free agent market as the LA Dodgers were eying the prey with money that is flowing in their organization. It’s the largest contract signed by a Philadelphia athlete and second-highest for a pitcher behind the $161 million deal the New York Yankees gave CC Sabathia in December 2008. He will be hanging around with Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee for a few more years. Not bad company to have as your coworkers. There is Carlos Ruiz as your attentive catcher. ( My personal favorite Phillie)
Cole Hamels was the MVP of the Philadelphia Phillies World Series team member in 2008 and voted a three time All Star.
Being a former professional athletes wife, I believe it came down to Mrs. Hamels decision. Since she is the veteran pitcher’s wife. No one ever writes or cites that angle. Everyone thinks it is all about the money. It is about the family. You do not think he talked about this life changing decision with his better half? The Hamels family also has many charities and various foundations that they are involved within the area.
This Phillie’s fan is elated over the news. As I drove this morning and tuned into a local sports radio station, WIP the news broke. Then, I proceeded to my athletic yoga class at 9:30am at Future Fitness in Cherry Hill, NJ. I was hyped and excited today and Lucy my diva instructor (and she is the bomb) was surprised and commented. Love the heated room and the 9:30 crowd is a blast as we sweat profusely and breath heavily all in the name of personal fitness.
Cole was born December 12, 1983.
Let us look at the many faces of Cole Hamels. A fashion model, a MLB professional pitcher, a daddy and a husband. I love the daddy picture.
Congratulations Cole Hamels and family.

Tug McGraw, 1993 MLB All-Star Game interview for Channel 6, Actions News. I was in research of past MLB All Star Games and came across our beloved Tugger. My heart broke, tears dwelled in my eyes. Tug McGraw was taken from us too early in 2004 and died of brain cancer. I remember he was down in spring training camp with the team and he started to have headaches, discovered was brain tumors in Clearwater, FL.
Tug McGraw was part of the World Series team for the Philadelphia Phillies in 1980. Pitched the last ball as a closing pitcher against the KC Royals. The Phils were up 3-2 in the series. Tug pitched from the 7th to the 9th inning, unheard of in today’s specialized pitching rotation.
He is also was father of Country singer, Emmy award winner Tim McGraw.
