You Must Learn: Don't be throwin' strikes to KRS ONE


It's amazing to me that KRS ONE could drop such intelligent rhymes throughout the '80s and still find time to make the trip to Petco Park to show the people some true power. Power on the mic/power at the plate.

KRS1/Ryan Howard crushes this park every time he visits.....truthfully there aren't too many Phillies that ever have problems here. Howard, Ibanez, Utley, et al, always bring a power display when in town.

I was at the game in 2007 when Tony Gwynn's statue was dedicated out at the Park in the Park...best seats ever. Three rows behind the Phillies dugout....close enough to whisper to big Ryan Howard, "Hey big fella....this is Petco....you got nuthin'!"

Of course I didn't say it. I already knew what the result would be on that night. They shellacked Greg Maddux, Howard hit a bomb and when it was all said and done the scoreboard read 10-0. We got soft tossed to death by Jamie Moyer and watched some real hitters put on a clinic in our own park.

Howard just hit another bomb about twenty minutes ago....his second of the series....wish he'd go back to his previous career.
