RANDOM BASEBALL FACT OF THE DAY: MACK ATTACK

On this day in 1930 Cornelius McGillicuddy, aka Connie Mack is awarded the prestigious Edward W. Bok Prize, that recognizes distinguished Philadelphians for their achievements in education, industry, law, politics, science, medicine, philosophy, and the creative arts. Good ol' Connie won the award after guiding the Philadelphia A's to a world championship, becoming the first (and looks like the last) Philadelphian sports figure to receive what is now known as the Philadelphia Award.
