As a Penncrest grad and former Penncrest athlete, RIDLEY was everyone’s main rival back then, especially in football. It was the heydey of Ridley Football, and everyone in the Central League hated them due to their arrogance (and the fact that they were good), we all wanted to beat them.
Scioscia was known (and talked about) as a baseball player when I competed against him not a football player. His bio on the Angels website says he was an outstanding football player as well.
Can anyone add some insight into what position he played, cause I never remember him across the sidelines from me in Lima or Springfield.

As a Penncrest Grad – I sinceley apologize. You’re right, Springfield Ridley was the big rivalry. But…won’t you agree, we all hated Upper Darby?

Actually Tom Hollinger, Mike was born in Upper Darby and lived in Morton, PA. a small town on the edge of Sprinfield, PA. I went to school with Mike & played Football & Baseball with Mike @ Sprinfiels. And Upper Darby was not our bitter rival. That was Ridley

Mike Scioscia grew up and lived in Springfield, PA, not Upper Darby. He graduated from Springfield High school, a bitter rival of Upper Darby High School.
(Is this, once again, a non-Philadelphian trying to make it sound like he knows about Philly?)
Please people, let Philly be handled by Philadelphians.

That 1988 NLCS broke my heart. 1 strike from going up 3 games to 1…the Mets were 10-1 that season against the Dodgers…
For all the Yankee fans grousing – TFB! It pains me as a Rays fan to root for the Angels, but all of the other teams elicit venal anger from me. I can hope that Kazir gets rocked once or twice, right?

the thorn in our side,
the cloud in our coffee,
the bee in our bonnet,
the fly in our ointment,
the clouds on our sunny day…

This sounds a lot better when you sing it like the Burlesque House song from the Simpsons:
We’re the sauce on your steak
We’re the cheese in your cake
We put the spring in Springfield
We’re the lace on your nightgown
The point after touchdown
Yes we put the spring in Springfield
God the NY papers are reaching for stories to fill before Friday.
