New trade item: Chase Utley pops the cork
2009 January 25
The Night of Phillies and Elvis at MacSwiney Club was a huge success, and the proceeds financed the next item in the tradeup: A framed, autographed photo of Chase Utley celebrating the ’08 World Series win. More on this item here.
Seeing Elvis do Sinatra songs in MacSwiney’s, a hardcore Irish joint, was an historic clash of contexts — like running into your kids’ elementary school teacher in a gentleman’s club. I think I actually saw a portrait of JFK do a double take at the segue from Hound Dog to Fly Me To the Moon.
Big thanks to Bill News for throwing open his Phillies event to Elvis and the Tradeup, thanks to Chris Callas for the Scotty Moore impression, and of course thanks to Jerry Perma, aka Elvis.
