Happy Birthday to the legendary Bill Conlin! Your nearly fifty-year run as Philadelphia's favorite sports columnist was longer than most Phillies' championship droughts. With your sharp wit and insightful commentary, you turned baseball writing into an art form—earning a well-deserved J.G. Taylor Spink Award along the way.We still smile remembering how you could dissect a game faster than Mike Schmidt crushed home runs, and your columns remain timeless classics for fans everywhere. Today we celebrate not just another year, but decades of unforgettable stories that continue to inspire laughter and nostalgia alike. Cheers to you, Bill—the MVP of sports journalism!
