My Holiday Wish List

In honor of Black Friday, here’s what I’m asking friends and family for this Christmas:

2008 World Champions sweatshirt

I don’t have a hooded sweatshirt, so this will nicely fill that hole. Originally I was going for the 2008 Playoffs sweatshirt (which is really nice), but come on, you have to pimp the trophy.

Phillies alternate jersey

The gorgeous third-jersey needs to be in my closet. Any player will do — even So Taguchi. I don’t mind.

World Series DVD box set

From A&E video, get each full World Series game right here in this eight-disc set. Key postseason games also featured. Unedited. All games in entirety. This’ll hold me until the 2008 season DVD, “Perfect Season” is released.

World Champions pilsner glass

If you know me, you know my love of beer. These two go together like oil and pastrami.

Phillies desk clock

For the office. A nice addition.

Golf balls and towel

I’m a golfer, so it’s nice honoring my favorite team on the links.

Phillies mug set

For my evening teas. This is essential.

Highland Mint commemorative coin

You kind of need the commemorative coin. It just screams “official.”

SI Commemorative Book

Finally, of course, the Sports Illustrated special commemorative edition. Growing up, I always wanted to see my team featured in the “Congratulations!” commercials. Now I have it. And now I want this.

Tim Malcolm

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
