This is Cole Hamels

Picked 2006 because it’s the year he (Hamels) debuted. Not sure if there’s a standard method for deciding which players are contemporaries.

Still includes Sale and Price.

Halladay debuted in ‘98, seems fair to leave him out.

Johan and Oswalt wouldn’t change the math.

These 2 very close:

It’s tough with starting pitchers because the game has changed so much.

We’ll probably never see another pitcher with 300 wins, for ex.

He is none of those things but he is a World Series MVP

Covenant House is on a mission to end youth homelessness, providing housing and other resources.

They hold sleep outs as an act of solidarity with kids on the streets. (Approx 10,000 in Philadelphia alone, I learned today.)

Working with the Phillies, they arranged this sleep out at the Bank.
