Jimmy Rollins Girlfriend, Johari Smith

Jimmy Rollins Girlfriend, Johari Smith: James Rollins is an All-Star and MVP shortstop for the Philadelphia Phillies of Major League Baseball.

Rollins comes from an athletic family, as his brother, Antwon, formerly played with minor league affiliates of the Texas Rangers and the Montreal Expos.His sister, Shay Rollins, is a starter on the University of San Francisco’s women’s basketball team,and Rollins is the cousin of former MLB player Tony Tarasco.

Tim Mccarver

Tim Mccarver: Tim McCarver Sings selections from the American songbook, lead Fox baseball color analyst Tim McCarver’s debut album, leaves us impressed.
If you are familiar with McCarver’s work as  talk show host, radio host,  author and baseball analyst you know that McCarver’s mind is as mccarver-sings-coverinquisitive as it is broad.  During games, we hear McCarver’s stream of consciousness; this style both shares with the viewer an undying curiosity and annoys some viewers.  McCarver’s mind pores over theorems that explain how the game (or should) play out. McCarver is excitable, enthused and interested in baseball.

The sportswriter David Halberstam said of McCarver  “Tim McCarver was a writer’s perfect interview, combining an exceptional love of language with an equally remarkable love of the game”

As his voice goes high to low, you recognize McCarver’s Memphis trained tongue that has become familiar to World Series viewers young and old.

It’s obvious that McCarver has a strong desire to be technically accurate with the musical notes, just as he has voices his displeasure with technically inaccurate base running, fielding, pitching and hitting. This album is not McCarver’s interpretation of American Classics but simply as they should be sung.

Perhaps, the thing that aggravates the critics most is that McCarver has not relented from his style one bit. The same can be said of his singing, we don’t get the idea that he is trying to impress anyone. McCarver wants to both educate us and bring the listener enjoyment. Just as he does with historical anecdotes in his baseball broadcasts, McCarver is helping us recollect a a simpler time.

Chan Ho Park

Chan Ho Park has been activated for the NLCS baseball playoffs and he may see action against his former team the LA Dodgers.  He’s a middle inning relief pitcher for the defending world champions Philadelphia Phillies.   He was injured during the month of September and after a rehabbing for the past few weeks, he’s being thrust into the heat of the baseball playoffs.

Park said yesterday he felt healthy enough to return to the active roster.

“I’m ready,” said Park, who went 2-2 with a 2.52 ERA in 38 relief appearances during the regular season. “I’d be glad if I had more time to face hitters.”

Park spent the NLDS working out in Clearwater, Fla., where he threw two bullpen sessions.

“From everything that they say and the way that he was throwing the ball in Florida, he’s ready to go,” manager Charlie Manuel said. “He’s ready to pitch. They felt like he is 100 percent.”
