Local writers score ‘best’ at Philly Press awards

Vanore’s first place was for Column Writing Weekly Division. His column was critical of the profanity used by the Phillies’ Chase Utley during last October’s World Series celebration. "Aside from the fact that he said what he did in front of countless young fans," Vanore noted, "what compounded it for me was that I really did like this guy, not just as a player, but as a young man."

"The fact of the matter is, I love your team but my wife's from Philly," Biden said of Jill Biden. He called her "the most rabid" Phillies fan. To laughter, the vice president told those gathered: "I will wear this proudly as long as my wife is not around."
