Baseball. Blogging. Whenever.Friday, October 09, 2009The Phillies can’t hold on to their ringsThis article has a little bit of everything:A masked fan ejected from a Phillies playoff game is charged with stealing three World Series rings from a ballpark office. The Phillies have now had four such rings stolen since winning the title last year. Police say 22-year-old Matthew Mervine of Berlin, N.J., was videotaped taking the rings Thursday. They say he had also left his contact information on a job application. Among its delights: (1) confusion: is the penalty for stealing jewelry in Philly ejection from the ballpark? I'm assuming he was arrested, right? If so, is it really necessary to note that he was ejected too? If he was ejected and only later arrested, why was he ejected? I'm worried that there is some high comedy we're missing here; (2) courtesy: it was very nice of the criminal to leave all of his personal information prior to committing the theft; (3) Pfun Pfilly Pfacts: Scouts get cheaper rings. This isn't necessarily surprising, but I never really thought about it before. I wonder what the cutoff is. Does the bullpen coach get full-blown bling? Trainer? UPDATE: More info from another story: Apparently, Mervine, who wore a rubber skull mask to yesterday's game against the Rockies, found his way to the Phillies offices after being kicked out of the game with other fans who were being too boisterous, police said. He'd been wearing a skull mask and calling himself "Rockie Killer." Someone on the Citizens Bank Park security staff should probably brush up on the concept of "kicking someone out of the game."

I was talking to the son of a friend and noticed he had a really big ring on. Turned out it was a Red Sox ‘04 WS ring. He worked for the Sox in publicity. I don’t know if it was a “lesser” ring than the players got, but it certainly was a big sucker. So I’d guess the trainers and bullpen coaches got at least as nice a ring. Posted 10/09 at 03:56 PM

Am I the only one wondering why the front office still has the rings? It’s almost a year later and they still haven’t given them to the scouts. Maybe there waiting to give them as Christmas bonus. Posted 10/09 at 05:59 PM

“The Phillies have now had four such rings stolen since winning the title last year.”
I guess this count as three, so who was the coach that got jabbed? I guess the same guy who is looking for a job?
