Among those who attended the event were former Dodgers owner Peter O'Malley, Tommy Lasorda, Expos GM Omar Minaya, Mariners GM Pat Gillick, Giants manager Felipe Alou, MLB Commissioner Bud Selig and current players Alfonso Soriano, Sammy Sosa, Pedro Martinez, Albert Pujols, Bartolo Colon and Miguel Tejada.

November, 2002

NL MVP for Bonds


	Barry Bonds

Familiar Face: Bonds

For Barry Bonds, the awards and records continue to pile up. Bonds won his second straight MVP award for an unprecendented fifth time. Bonds was chosen unanimously over the Cardinals' Albert Pujols. Bonds, 38, finished the season with a Major League-leading .370 average to become the oldest first-time batting champion in MLB history. He broke his own year-old big-league record by walking 198 times -- including a record-breaking 68 intentional free passes -- while shattering Ted Williams' 60-year-old mark by reaching base at a .582 clip.
Full story >

AL MVP for Tejada


	Miguel Tejada

New Face: Tejada

There was no shortage of material to support naming Oakland A's shortstop Miguel Tejada as the American League Most Valuable Player. Tejada set career highs in batting average (.308), hits (204), RBIs (131), home runs (34), total bases (.336), runs (108) on-base percentage (.354), fielding percentage (.975) and slugging percentage (.508). He hit .325 with 19 homers in the season's second half -- including a dramatic homer off All-Star Eddie Guardado to beat the Twins on Sept. 1, extending Oakland's winning streak to 18 games on the way to an AL-record 20 -- as the A's stormed to the AL West title.

The West Wing

And the winner is ... Baseball's West Wing. Miguel Tejada's coronation as AL MVP dropped the curtain on MLB's awards season, over a week-long buffet of honors that confirmed the Major League's 2002 playing field tilted toward the Left Coast. With the Athletics' shortstop joining his Bay Area neighbor, unanimous NL MVP Barry Bonds of the Giants, six of this season's top eight awards have been bestowed on West Division luminaries. Only NL Manager of the Year Tony La Russa, of the Central Division Cardinals, and AL Rookie of the Year Eric Hinske, of the East Division Blue Jays, were able to crack the West stronghold.

	CLEARWATER BALLPARK UPDATE After celebrating a successful groundbreaking for the new Phillies Spring Training Ballpark in Clearwater, Florida on October 16, work at the site is progressing well. The existing structures on the site have been removed and construction is underway. The 7,000-seat ballpark, with a distinctive Floridian feel, will be built directly adjacent to the Carpenter Complex, near the intersection of US 19 and Drew Streets. With a 14-month construction schedule, the new ballpark will open in January, 2004, just a few months ahead of the Phillies New Ballpark.

Each year, the dinner honors a player from each of the pro sports teams in Philly for their off-and on-field success. Marlon served as Chairman of the Phillies RBI/Rookie Leagues program this year, making several appearances throughout the season. Eric Snow (Sixers) and Simon Gagne (Flyers) will also be honored at the dinner. Past Phillies who have won the award include Bobby Abreu, Robert Person and Nelson Figueroa.

Righthander Brandon Duckworth and lefty Rheal Cormier will also be working with Kerrigan throughout the offseason.



	BALLPARK CONSTRUCTION TEAM FORMS SAFETY PARTNERSHIP WITH OSHA A signing ceremony held this past October at the Phillies Ballpark Project Office marked an important milestone in the history of Philadelphia construction sites. (Pictured: John Henshaw, Asst. Sec. of Labor and Jack Robertson, Driscoll/Hunt) During this event the Phillies Ballpark construction management team Driscoll/Hunt (a joint venture), in association with Synterra/Todd, formed a Safety Partnership Agreement with the U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) at the Phillies Ballpark construction site. This is the first OSHA safety partnership formed at a construction site in the Philadelphia region, and it will serve as a model for future construction safety programs. Through innovation in safety management, the partnership will encourage more active participation in the safety process for everyone involved at the jobsite. One of the important objectives of this partnership is to bring the recordable illness and injury rates below the national average.

THE BIG PICTURE


	Angels in heaven

All-for-one Halos win it all

For the first time in baseball history, the Anaheim Angels are world champions, completing their magical run to the top of the sport in Game 7 on Sunday evening before 44,598 at Edison Field. "Everyone can take joy in the fact that they've played a part in our success," said Salmon, the longest-standing member of the team with 10 years under the halo.
Full story >


	MVP Troy Glaus

Ecstatic Glaus wins MVP

Troy Glaus, the man who paced Bonds every step of the way, earned the MVP accolade after the Angels' stirring victory in Game 7. "I was so excited just about being world champions," Glaus said. "This is just icing on the cake at this point. I didn't even really know what to think. They told me to go stand on the stage, so I went and stood on the stage." Full story >

Rookie Lackey shows veteran poise

The champagne went on ice in late afternoon. Then John Lackey -- the first rookie in 93 years to win a Game 7 -- took the mound against the Giants, a human block of ice who refused to crack under pressure. For five innings, he held San Francisco at bay, holding the G-Men to a Reggie Sanders sacrifice fly while the Angels marshaled enough offense for a World Series-clinching 4-1 victory to pop those corks.

	Livan Hernandez

Handling Hernandez

In their first two series this postseason, the Angels lost Game 1, then went on to sweep the Yankees and the Twins. But if they want to continue that pattern against the Giants, they'll have to win three straight at Pac Bell Park. No easy task, especially since October phenom Livan Hernandez -- thus far immune to playoff pressure -- takes the hill in San Francisco for Game 3.

	Tim Salmon

What we've learned

Game 1 of the World Series was beautiful baseball at its best. Big hits, clutch pitching and a 4-3 victory for the Giants. Game 2, an 11-10 affair won by the Angels, was a jaw-dropping display of power. For that matter, this October, scoreboards are lighting up with home runs at a record pace. Barry Bonds and Troy Glaus have six homers apiece, each one shy of the all-time high for a single postseason.

Urban Legends takes a look back at the first two games of this World Series and discovers that these teams really are as evenly matched as advertised ... which should make this October a true classic. Full story >

Special Postseason Edition


	Angels' Kevin Appier

AL Postseason Underdogs

If you like Cinderella stories, then the Angels vs. Twins is an American League Championship Series match made in underdog heaven and one that, fittingly, will see at least two games played in Disneyland.

Two teams, neither with a single position player with postseason experience before last week, meet in an improbable series for the right to advance to the World Series in a best-of-seven series beginning Tuesday at Minnesota's Metrodome. Anaheim arrives having shocked four-time defending AL Champion New York to get here. The Twins upset heavily favored Oakland in five games.

"I think if you said last spring (that the Twins and Angels would meet in the ALCS) people would have thought you were crazy," Twins catcher A.J. Pierzynski said. More >


	Cardinals' Chuck Finley

A Tale of Two Storylines

When St. Louis takes on San Francisco in the National League Championship Series starting Wednesday at Busch Stadium, two storylines are sure to get the most attention.

The first is the inspiration with which the Cardinals are playing this season in memory of former teammate Darryl Kile, broadcaster Jack Buck and former Cardinal Darrell Porter.

The other is the microscope under which the most feared hitter in the game today, Barry Bonds, performs as he tries to reach the World Series for the first time in his career. More >

Offseason Issue - October 7, 2002

The Phillie Phanatic is now a published author (actually, the author is his best friend Tom Burgoyne, but the Phanatic is taking all the credit!).

More Than Beards, Bellies and Biceps - The Story of the 1993 Philadelphia Phillies (and the Phillie Phanatic, too) tells the story of that "wacky, wonderful group of throwbacks" (as Harry Kalas described them) and how that team lit up the league and the city with their never-say-die attitude and their Animal House style both on and off the field. The book takes a comical look at the behind the scenes game and the history of sports' most successful mascot.

Q & A with Joe Roa

Joe Roa has come to appreciate many things during his second Major League go-round.

Playing organized baseball for 14 years hasn't helped Roa shed any of his particular quirks, mainly his penchant for neatness & unwillingness to share towels.

He recently sat down with MLB.com to discuss those habits and other subjects, including fatherhood, his composure and scoring from first base:

STEEL GOES VERTICAL
Structural Steel Raised High Above Street Level

The installation of structural steel at street level began in August at the Phillies New Ballpark project site. Beginning with the Ballpark's scoreboard structure (in the northwest quadrant) and moving in a counterclockwise direction around the project site, workers will install approximately 11,800 structural steel pieces for the construction of the Ballpark. Some of the largest pieces of steel will be used to create the signature scoreboard structure, with each piece weighing nearly 22,000 pounds and standing 65' tall.

"Over the next 20 months, fans will be amazed by how quickly the Ballpark takes shape. Before you know it, we will have a state-of-the-art Ballpark ready for our fans to explore and experience."
- David Montgomery
Phillies General Partner and President

Watch the progress live via the New Ballpark Web Cam.

David Montgomery: Getting Updated from Construction Workers

David Montgomery makes routine visits to the project site to see the Ballpark's progress first hand. Oftentimes he chats with construction workers to get the latest update.

To see short video clips from Montgomery's walk through the Ballpark, go to the "Sights and Sounds" area of the New Ballpark section.

Masterpieces in the Making


Carlton and Frudakis review 10" clay model.	Frudakis adds finishing touches to the Mike Schmidt clay bust.
The excitement of building 10-foot tall bronze statues of Phillies legends Mike Schmidt, Steve Carlton, Robin Roberts, and Richie Ashburn for the New Ballpark continues! This past August Mike Schmidt had his second sitting with Zenos Frudakis, the world-renowned artist commissioned by the Phillies to create larger-than-life statues, while Steve Carlton experienced his first meeting where he posed for both his clay bust and statue. As a part of the creative process, Frudakis meets with the players or close family members to ensure the statues represent each player as accurately as possible. Schmidt and Carlton will have several meetings with Frudakis with the unveiling of the large-scale bronze statues taking place prior to the opening of the Ballpark in 2004. To see short video clips Frudakis sculpting Schmidt and Carlton, go to the "Sights and Sounds" area of the New Ballpark section.

Phillies New Ballpark Construction Workers Outing

More than 1,300 construction workers and their families enjoyed an afternoon of food, folks and fun at the Phillies New Ballpark Construction Workers Outing, hosted by the Phillies to celebrate the progress of the Ballpark. The festivities began with David Montgomery and his wife Lyn welcoming and thanking the workers for their hard work in building the Ballpark. Next, all were treated to a pre-game lunch where surprise appearances were made by Phillies Manager Larry Bowa, right-handed pitcher Brandon Duckworth, Phillies announcers Harry Kalas and Scott Graham, and the Phillie Phanatic. After lunch, everyone cheered the Phillies as they took on the Mets at a 1:15 game in Veterans Stadium.
