This Day in Philly Sports History - May 2, 2025

It's a Feel Good Friday! The Phillies dropped a game to the Nationals 4-2 last night, the bats went silent on a night when the team honored 3 of the all-time greats. We run our Tankathon Simulations for the Flyers and Sixers, it was a good day for the Sixers. We discuss the origins of Take Me Out to the Ball Game, add to our Philly Sports Summer Playlist and of course we always spend Fridays with A.I. Today's Question of the Day is "Should we be concerned with Bryce Harper?"Today's Philly Sports Summer Playlist song is For Those About to Rock (We Salute You) by AC/DC. This was the Eagles tunnel song for years.On this day in 1989 the Phillies lost to the Astros 12-4 at the Vet. Mike Schmidt went 2-3 with 3 RBI including a 1st inning 2-run homer.
