Philly area guy here. I went to Jack Murphy Stadium a couple of times. I thought the place was like Philly’s Vet Stadium, but with palm trees behind the outfield wall.

Rt 41, the Gap-Newport Pike has them. There’s a lot of truck traffic on that road.

Yeah, but more permanent. Some players re-adjust and recover

I would discount injuries which are a whole different factor. I think other players and coaches figure out what the young player can and cannot do. Where their strengths and weaknesses are.
In baseball an example of such a player is Jeff Francoeur of the Braves. He had a great first two seasons then his production dropped dramatically in his third year never to recover. They watch films on players and change how they approach them. It goes for all sports. They start to take away what makes a player successful and that player has to adjust. They force them to do something else, to change their timing and the defensive looks they get. Some players can’t adjust, their talent only goes so far.

What do you call the syndrome when a pro athlete has a excellent rookie year, but afterwards the league catches up to them and they can never repeat their initial success. It happens in all professional sports. I’m trying to think of other examples.

I recently read “Camera Man” a biography about Keaton. It was very good, gave insight into his career and private life.

I’ve had two large white oaks die quickly in the last two years. I’m in S. Chester County. I also had a full herd of deer on my property this morning. I wonder if they were eating any oak sprouts?

I have listened to later Beatles productions on vinyl direct-to-disk cut from studio masters and you’re right. Not only were their songs great and the playing and singing top notch but the engineering was excellent. The music jumps right out at you.

I’m here in Chester County. A lot of us are complaining that there’s been no snow. It’s ugly out there. A few inches of snow to cover the fields and woods followed by a sunny day would certainly cheer us up.

Yea, DelDot sent me a fine notice for running an exit toll on Del Rt1. The toll was 50 cents and the scanner didn’t pick up my transponder even though it picked up my transponder entering the road in Dover. I sent them back a polite letter with a copy of my EZPass report and two quarters. They must of been ok with it. I didn’t hear back from them.

Reply to Is Pennsylvania bad place to live? What do you like about living in this state? by [deleted]
I live in Southeast PA, Chester County. I’ve lived here for decades. I really like where I live, that’s a major reason why I haven’t moved.
I live in the exburbs. It’s a rural area but not far from urban areas. There are dairy farms and Amish farms near me but I’m an hour from Philly and Baltimore. I’m two hours from ocean beaches and the mountains and a half hour from the upper Chesapeake Bay.
Crime in the immediate area is very low. Housing costs have gotten expensive because local communities and governments don’t want any more big housing developments unless they are in towns. The towns are nice but not a lot to do if you’re looking for nightlife.

There is a sales tax in Delaware. The retailer pays it, not the consumer. It’s called a gross receipts tax.
