[Philadelphia Phillies @Phillies]

The Phillies are saddened to learn of the unexpected passing of former pitcher Larry Christenson this morning while on a fishing trip with family and friends in Washington state. He was 72.

Christenson, who spent his entire 11-year major league career with the club from 1973-83, was selected by the Phillies in the third round of the 1972 MLB Draft. “LC” was a member of the 1980 World Series championship team and the National League pennant-winning club in 1983.

A native of Everett, Wash., Christenson made his big league debut on April 13, 1973, against the New York Mets at the age of 19 and earned the win in a complete-game effort. A mainstay in the Phillies starting rotation that qualified for the postseason six times over his 11 seasons, Christenson posted a career-best 19 victories in 1977. He was the winning pitcher and hit a grand slam as part of a five-RBI game in the Phillies’ NL East division-clinching win on Sept. 27, 1977, against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. Christenson’s 11 career home runs are tied with Rick Wise for the most in franchise history as a pitcher and he ranks ninth on the club’s all-time list in games started (220).

In addition to his legacy as a Phillies player, “LC” was an active supporter of Phillies Charities and other local non-profits.

The club and its fans are forever grateful for his contributions and the legacy he leaves behind in Philadelphia.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Larry’s beloved daughters, Claire and Libby, his extended family and friends, and former teammates at this difficult time.

Marines on D-DAY

#OTD, Allied forces launched the D-Day invasion of Normandy, a decisive turning point in World War II. Though frequently overshadowed by the Pacific campaign, the Marine Corps made vital contributions to this monumental assault.

Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, the majority of Marines were deployed to the Pacific. However, specialized cadres remained to provide crucial amphibious warfare expertise to Allied forces in Europe for the duration of the war. These amphibious trainings would eventually make significant contributions to major amphibious assaults throughout the European Theater of Operations, including Operation Torch in North Africa in 1942, Operation Husky in Sicily in 1943, and Operation Overlord in 1944.

Beginning in 1942, numerous Marines were embedded with Allied command staffs to advise on and coordinate major amphibious landings. Key figures like Col. Robert O. Bare served as leading strategists for naval gunfire and training and went ashore on D-Day itself. Marines actively supported the grueling assault on Omaha Beach, manning the 5-inch guns off warships like the USS Texas to provide critical fire support for the troops storming ashore.

Other Marines scanned the skies above while manning anti-aircraft guns ensuring the German air force was kept at bay. In total a little over 800 Marines participated in Operation Overlord on D-Day with approximately a squad of Marines landing on Omaha Beach itself, helping to transport the wounded and captured prisoners of war, and coordinate fires for the USS Texas’s 14-inch heavy guns.

Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.

More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸

UNIDENTIFIED IN PENNSYLVANIA
She was someone’s daughter. Someone’s friend. But 40 years later, her name is still unknown.

On April 8, 1986, an unidentified young Black woman was found in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. She is believed to have been 17–23 years old.

One detail stands out: she was wearing a silver-colored friendship ring. Someone may recognize it.

If you have information that could help identify her, call 1-800-THE-LOST: https://t.co/MjS7fkiYRk.
