Couldn't find the address for the one on Rising Sun, but I did come across two that are a little closer to my area:
Dennery Sporting Goods
3027 Kensington Avenue - Philadelphia, PA
215-423-7990

Dennery's Sporting Goods
12361 Academy Road - Philadelphia, PA

[Rome]

Whenever I hear Levick Street I think of coming back from the shore on the way to Jenkintown.  My parents used to take the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge back for God knows what reason.

Schmidt criticizes Burrell

[NGM]

People always say: "This is the town that booed Mike Schmidt."  Well, he is an icehole. 

That doesn't make him wrong in this situation though. 

[SD_Eagle5]

Schmidt was the first athlete I ever idolized, but you're correct, he is an icehole. I went to a Chamber of Commerce luncheon for the Phils with my grandparents when I was 12, he was a fleshpop to every kid that wanted an authograph. Ricky Jordan was there and was probably the coolest athlete I ever met.

[Rome]

Schmidt was managing the Clearwater Single A team a couple of years ago and they were in town here in Daytona for a series.

Anyway, my buddy showed up about two hours before the game started in the hopes of getting his autograph.  He asked one of the coaches if Schmidt would sign his jersey and take a photo and the coach rolled his eyes and said, 'no he doesn't do that sort of thing.'

Well, there's a public bathroom in the stadium right next to the visitors dugout and my buddy noticed him making for the bathroom so he followed him in and cornered him for an autograph.  Schmidt signed it then went to security and had my buddy thrown out of the ballpark for invading his privacy.



Seems like everyone I know has a "Schmidt's a jerkoff" story.

[MDS]

That is kind of stalkerish. But it's just an autograph.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Ricky Jordan = god.

[SD_Eagle5]

I have that card, I bought the entire Fleer unlimited set so I could get that one card.

[Rome]

That is kind of stalkerish. But it's just an autograph.

It was funny in a sort of "farg him - he's a douchebag, so I'll annoy him and still get what I want" kind of way.

Guys like Schmidt who think their shtein doesn't stink make me ill.  He's a washed-up athlete and any attention he receives should be welcomed, not dealt with like he's somehow still relevant in any sort of meaningful way.

[mpmcgraw]

Schmidt is worse than Morgan.

All those called third strikes on Burrell are REALLY from him being too agressive.  REALLY.

There is a lot of other shtein wrong with what he said, but since he criticized Burrell and now walks on water I will leave it at that. 

[ice grillin you]

He's a washed-up athlete

lolol

hes 58

[Rome]

Should I have said "ex-athlete?" 

Would that make you feel better, sweetie?
