Bob Ford revisits the golden years of Ryan Howard and the Phillies as Howard has played his last game as a part of the franchise, marking the end of a glorious era. Ryan Howard had been overlooked and taken for granted while the Phillies were dominating the N.L. East and competing in the postseason consistently year after year. The World Series in 2008 was special and after that, the Phillies slowly declined and each player moved on from that team. Eight years later, Phillies fans say goodbye
The Texas Rangers (78-67) absolutely embarrassed the Houston Astros (77-69) tonight, slaughtering the Astros by a score of 14-3. Many were wondering how the Rangers would respond to going from the hunter to the hunted, and they responded mighty well. Martin Perez (3-5, 4.96 ERA) pitched brilliantly and got the win for the Rangers, while Dallas Keuchel (17-8, 2.56 ERA) was humiliated while taking the loss. Martin Perez came into this game struggling, getting absolutely roughed up in his last couple

back to the way they were before the Great Depression. The stock market crashed due to everyone selling their stocks all at once. Farmers couldn’t gain profit for their products because of overproduction, people had lost all their money because of banks closing, and many people were without work. The President during that time, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, created the New Deal, with many different programs to assist the people who were negatively affected by the Great Depression. Many people believed
Civil disobedience is a threat to our free society as one small example can snowball into a much larger issue within our society. Rosa Parks used civil disobedience in a very effective way but a bank robber could use civil disobedience to explain that he was gaining rights for the poor, much like Rosa Parks did for the African American community. The problem here lies in where can you draw the line with civil disobedience. You could argue that a good argument is needed to justify someone breaking
During the 1936 election President Roosevelt used a campaign of logos to convince American citizens to reelect him. Roosevelt uses logos to remind Americans how the conditions in the United States had improved since 1932.

service, all I could picture is cleaning Philadelphia parks or streets that were filled with trash in either the cold or heat. My mind always went to that space because that 's what my first few encounters with community service consisted of. My high school always had us cleaning something; one time we re-landscaped the parking lot of a homeless shelter. Another time, we cleaned up the weeds out of the loading docks of the non-profit food bank Philabundance. One time my mom made me volunteer
