The Brewers and Phillies join the Cubs and Astros on the sidelines as steady rains hit the Philadelphia area. So today’s number will remain as is.

Some classic North Siders have worn the penultimate double-digit: Don Kessinger (1964-75), Ivan DeJesus (1977-81), Ron Cey (1983-86), George Bell (1991), Mark Grudzielanek (2003-04), and, Mike Murphy’s favorite guy, Jacque Jones (2006-07).

And faithful C-Notes readers I hope would know I’m not going to let this reference pass by without these words of wisdom.
