Years into efforts to attract more Black players, MLB sees signs of hope
LAKEWOOD, N.J. — Justin Crawford has the kind of speed that comes with a warning label. The kind of speed that makes an infielder come up from a diving stab and concede the base hit rather than waste a throw. The kind of speed that turns a steal of third base into a run because it makes a catcher panic and hurl the ball into left field.
Pirates shutout by Phillies in series finale, ending win-streak at six games
Throughout the past 10 days, it seemed as though little could go wrong for the Pirates. A strong combination of solid pitching, reliable fielding, aggressive base running and timely hitting led Derek Shelton’s club to a season-best six-game win streak and three-straight series victories. But that stretch of good...
Fire Nick? Hardly. Lurie thinks Sirianni is Andy Reid (lite) for the Eagles, NFL sources say.
PHILADELPHIA - A few months ago, it seemed impossible that Nick Sirianni's job was not in peril. He'd led a Super Bowl favorite down a disastrous path, from 10-1 to 11-7 and a wild-card road playoff loss. His $255 million quarterback had regressed. Bill Belichick was on the market. Whether...

Israel Morris was 25 years old when he died on Dec. 9, 1754. He was buried in the First Baptist Church of Philadelphia cemetery, at Second and Arch, just across the street from where Betsy Ross sewed the first American flag. Today, Israel Morris’ remains, along with those of nearly...

‘The Good Half’ director talks why grief should be funny
Sign up for our Daily Email newsletter to stay up-to-date on the latest local news throughout Philadelphia. In ‘The Good Half,’ we see a story of grief told through Renn (Nick Jonas), who returns home to Cleveland for his mother’s funeral and encounters a cast of characters, both familiar and not, that help shape one of the hardest times in his life. To dig a little deeper into the film, director Robert Schwartzman sat down to discuss his own dealings with grief, how that played into the film, and why a movie that mixes tough subjects with comedy can be entertaining and also, cathartic.
Tyler Phillips tosses six scoreless innings and Phillies avoid sweep with 6-0 win over Pirates
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Rookie Tyler Phillips gave up four hits in six innings, and the Philadelphia Phillies avoided a three-game sweep with a 6-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. Phillips (2-0) struck out three and walked one. It was the right-hander’s third game and second start since...
A Center City office building has opened a restaurant complete with bar — but it’s for tenants only
This is not exactly the golden age of the downtown office building. Even with return-to-office mandates, vacancies remain high and real estate values have plummeted. To address that, building owners are engaged “in what we call the amenities race,” said Joshua Sloan, Philadelphia-based international managing director of Jones Lang LaSalle Inc., a real estate services company. “Everybody’s got to have a gym, everybody’s got to have a coffee shop.” Landlords are tacking on services such as dry-cleaning pickup, while tenants themselves are adding features to encourage workers to hang more at the office; one Philadelphia daily newspaper, for example, recently put a vintage pinball machine in the break room.

As construction continued into 2017, more and more remains were found until PMC Property Group, the developer, hired a professional archaeology firm to remove buried remains in the footprint of the new building.

Philadelphia owner history: full list and timeline
Gosh, we'd love to own an NFL franchise, especially the one in the City of Brotherly Love... for a day or two at least. That's probably all that we'd be able to muster before going crazy. Something tells us that catering to a fan base as loyal (and sometimes as zany) as the Philadelphia Eagles would probably make for a few more grey hairs and, possibly sleepless nights.
