Roy Halladay Gives Scott Hartnell Some Advice

RIP Andy Musser

Tweet
On October 4, 1980, the Phillies clinched the National League East with a face-breaking win in Montreal. You could argue that the autumn euphoria which ultimately led to a World Championship unofficially commenced when Mike Schmidt hit a dramatic, two run home-run in the 11th inning of that game. Here is Andy Musser's call.

well done, Youtuber markmarky

Thanks for the memories, Andy.

A Post About SOPA by Ryan

Tweet
(ZWR Note: The following doesn't necessarily reflect my views on the subject proposed legislation; I'm just some donkey that wants to go to the zoo with Roy Halladay. But Ryan's my bud and he's passionate about it and sent me a text at like 3:47AM telling me to post this so here you go.)

Hi there, my name is Ryan Petzar. You may know me from places such as Zoo With Roy, The Fightins, Twitter, or the runner-up of The 1986 America’s Fattest Baby contest.. I wanted to take a moment to talk to you about a topic that is incredibly important to me, and if you’re a fan of this blog should be important to you. Please bear with me, I promise I’ll make this worth your time.

There’s currently legislation that’s quickly working it’s way though Congress called the Stop Online Piracy Act (or SOPA). If passed, SOPA would change the internet as we know it forever by giving corporations the right to censor it. Basically, SOPA would allow the government or copyright holders the ability to obtain court orders to shut down any website they suspect to be either committing copyright infringement or allowing it to happen. However, the rules are broad and vague enough that it would give corporations the ability to shut down your favorite websites for almost no reason at all. Additionally, and horrifyingly, it makes the sharing or posting of copyrighted content online a felony punishable with massive fines and prison sentences of up to five years.

Hey Kids! The Sixers have their home opener tonight, and I'm pretty certain they this squad's going to be a ton of fun to follow this year. In light of this sentiment, ZWR Animation Studios made the following, face-breaking MS Paint:

ZWR in the Wild - UGANDA EDITION

Tweet

ZWR enthusiast Jamie sent me the following in an email yesterday. As it turns out, his mom (who just took the lead for ZWR's 2012 Woman of the Year award) runs a school for orphans in UGANDA. Yes, the one in Africa. I'll let Jamie take it from here. Enjoy:

Yo ZWR,

During my trip to Uganda (central Africa) I took the opportunity to spread my passion for baseball.  I told them stories of the greatest player alive - Harry Leroy Halladay III, aka Doc.  I gave out some of your classic tee shirts. I got as many as I could geared up in Phils stuff and faces were breaking left and right.  The country is absolutely beautiful and the people are so friendly.  

The people over there are so thankful for everything and so happy despite having nothing. Giving them a tee shirt is like handing someone here the keys to a car. I played catch with tons of kids over there and they loved it.  All they know is soccer (football) but they are quick learners and loved throwing the baseball.

Thanks for all you do and keep up the great work.

No, thank you, Jamie!

This is the best ZWR in the Wild ever. But before we get to the pictures, it's worth noting J-Roll donated an entire suitcase of equipment and gear for Jamie to give to the kids, and that he plans to travel there himself soon.

CLIFF LEE:

I checked Google Translate, and as it turns out, "CLIFF LEE" in Swahili comes out: "CLIFF LEE"

Jamie and the kids. The kid on the left is actually an Eagles linebacker

AND BOOM:

Meet Nelson, ZWR's new favorite person in the world (tied with Awesome Emma)

Thanks Jamie, for the most amazing and selfless ZWR in the Wild to date. And tell your family to keep up the great work.
