Former Phillie Dickie Noles and Others Recognized at 106th Annual Philly Sports Writers Association Award Banquet

On Monday, Feb. 1, the Philadelphia Sports Writers Association--the oldest such organization in the country--held its 106th Annual Awards Banquet.

In the past, Ali and Ruth had sat at the head table. This year, honored guest included Eagles coach Andy Reid and Phillies' Manager Charlie Manuel among others

Including former Phillies hero, Dickie Noles.

As a member of the PSWA, I was asked to present Noles with our Humanitarian of the Year Award for his work to keep young ballplayers and kids away from drugs and alcohol.
