    Milton Williams Sr fell short of the NFL, became a truck driver, and the dad he never had. He poured everything into his kids. Now his son is in the Super Bowl and he calls his dad his hero. That’s why the dad watches Eagles games like he’s from Philly.

    Rob McElhenney and Kaitlin Olson - Mac and Dee from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia -are seated behind home plate for Chase Utley's retirement ceremony. Maybe Mac has another letter for Utley.

    The Marlins learned before Sunday’s game that three players had tested positive for COVID-19. So they held a player’s meeting to decide if they should play against the Phillies. Can’t find that protocol in MLB’s 101-page manual.
