Congratulations to former Princeton center Chris Young for shutting out the St. Louis Cardinals in game three of the 2006 NLDS this afternoon and keeping the Padres' postseason alive. Young becomes the first Princeton graduate to ever win a postseason baseball game.
C. Young (1-0) - 6.2 IP 4 H 0 ER 2 BB 9 K 0.00 ERA. 102 pitches, 63 strikes.
Padres 3 Cardinals 1 - F.
From Elias Sports Bureau:
• Chris Young was 6-0 in road games during the regular season and he earned a win at St. Louis on Saturday. Young is one of 49 pitchers since 1903 to go 5-0 or better on the road during a regular season, but he's the first of those 49 to follow that up with a road victory in the postseason. (1903 was the first year of postseason play in Major League Baseball.)

Former Princeton basketball player (and current San Diego Padres pitcher) Chris Young needs your vote to make this year's Major League Baseball All-Star team. While Chris Young was not named by manager Phil Garner as one of the first 31 members of the 2006 National League All-Star Team (despite better numbers across the board than some of the other pitchers selected), he was named one of five finalists for the 2006 NL Final Vote.
Since 2002 fans at mlb.com have decided the final member of each league's roster through Final Vote. Young is up against four other players (Billy Wagner, Nomar Garciaparra, Chris Capuano and Bobby Abreu) for the 32nd slot on the senior circuit roster.
You can vote for Chris Young via text message or Internet. You can vote from right now until 6:00 pm ET on Thursday.
There appears to be no limit on how many times you can vote. Why vote just once?
Here is all you have to do...
1. Go here.
2. Click on "Cast Your Final Vote."
3. Select Chris Young.
4. Repeat as often as you can between now and Thursday at 6:00 pm ET.
5. Tell other people who might vote for Chris Young.

Brian Howard gets the credit for this headline, plus he filled in for me on the radio so I could go cover this game. Thanks, Brian!

Oooooh.

Hard to make out on the Jumbotron, but that is indeed the Phillie Phanatic dressed as a light Jedi Knight vanquishing the Texas Rangers mascot (some sort of giant horse) dressed as a dark Jedi with the help of a kid from the stands (unaffiliated).

Former Princeton basketball standout Chris Young pitched at Yankee Stadium on Friday, April 22nd and princetonbasketball.com was there. As a boyhood Yankees fan, it was strange to take the subway to the Bronx and root for the visiting team, but by the end of the night I was used to it.
Because there was no clear policy posted on if you could take photographs while the game was taking place, most of these snapshots are pretty covert.
Things I wish I had been able to take pictures of:
-Bob Shepard's plaid pants.
-The visiting locker room's collection of VHS tapes.
-The secret "media only" concession stand with $1.00 hotdogs and $0.75 pretzels.
The view from the pressbox.
49 degrees at first pitch. Heat lamp kept me warm.

Tribute to Bob Shepard.
Entrance to the Rangers' dugout.
RIP Eddie Layton.

Follow this stripe to the visiting locker room.
While $200,000,000 sounds like a lot for salary, think of all the money the Yankees
have saved the past four seasons by not having to update their signage.
