Mitch Williams hosts his own radio show?  Living in NYC, I had no idea Mitchy-poo was all over Philly sports radio and TV these days. I'm glad though; I've always been a fan -- even after he crushed all my teenage hopes and dreams in '93.Here's a great article about Wild Thing in today's New York Times: Williams, Former Goat for Phillies, Is Now Fan Favorite Sunday, May 18

Basketball has the "gym rat," a kid who lives in the gym with his basketball. Every free moment he's working his game—hundreds of jump shots, free throws, drills, in most cases in quiet solitude, as he enjoys being by himself.
