For those who have followed baseball in their lifetime, they have more than likely had run-ins with my dad. Tim Kurkjian has covered the game of baseball for the better part of 45 years. For the last 25 years, he has worked for ESPN as a baseball analyst, contributor on SportsCenter and in-game color commentator.

But if you ask him, his greatest accomplishment would be his two kids. Most of you know me, I'm Jeff, co-host of The Andie Summers Show here on 92.5 XTU. I get the amazing opportunity to chat with you every morning, give away prizes, talk about my wife Emily and our baby girl, McKinley. My sister, seen below, is Kelly. She's an amazing mom of two and an incredibly talented graphic designer.

"Is This A Great Game, Or What?" is a weekly show starring Tim Kurkjian and Jeff Kurkjian talking baseball, life and chatting with a guest. Baseball fans will love it but also any fans of some laughs will have a good time too, I promise. Here's our trailer!

If you want to "follow" the show (it's completely free) you can do so at GreatGameOrWhat.com and click wherever you like to get your podcasts. It is VERY easy. Every Tuesday, new episode, new guest, more laughs!

I want to take a second here to thank Joe Bell, our Market Manager here at Beasley Media Group Philadelphia and Justin Chase, our VP of Content, for giving their blessing to pursue this amazing project with my dad, it's a great come true.

This won't be the first time we have had a chance to work together. Back in 2021, I did the play-by-play and my dad did the color commentary for the Celebrity All Star Softball Game in Denver during All Star Weekend. That was a great time, but it was one off. As you might imagine, I have had the chance to join my dad a couple times on ESPN growing up but the event we are most proud of is our ALS fundraiser we did in Las Vegas back in 2022.

My dad's brother, my Uncle Matt, was diagnosed with this horrible disease in 2021, he passed away from it in the fall of 2023. We decided to get together and do a fundraiser to raise money and awareness.

Thank you in advance for your love and support!

Citizens Bank Park became the home of the Philadelphia Phillies 20 years ago, and the ballpark will debut new food and special merchandise options as part of a year-long milestone celebration.

Jim Thome and company christened the ballpark in 2004. Ryan Howard helped bring a World Series to Philadelphia in 2008, and Bryce Harper hopes to bring another. While the most passionate MLB fan base watches the Fightin’ Phils, they can also enjoy the best eats of any MLB ballpark.

Nothing can replace the good old American hot dog. Peanuts and crackers might be another tradition, but why limit youself given the incredible list of food options at Citizens Bank Park?

You’ve tried Bull’s BBQ and Chickie’s and Pete’s crab fries for two decades at the home of the Philadelphia Phillies. You’ve probably mixed the classics with newer options like the Schwarburger. Combine it all with brand new options like the bratwurst sandwich or the buffalo chicken hoagies from Greens and Grains.

If you’re feeling up to it, wash it down with one of those crazy beer bats while you’re at it. Do anything that helps you enjoy the crack of the bat and the summer atmosphere.

It’s all part of the Citizens Bank Park experience when the Phillies are back in the conversation as a World Series contender.

Dan Baker rolled out his best Harry Kalas impersonation to introduce former Phillies great Mickey Morandini. The Phillie Phanatic, of course, won’t miss a beat or a good food option at Citizens Bank Park this summer. The classic ballpark atmosphere will send chills down the spines of Phillies fans from Opening Day through Red October.

The summer serenity of the ballpark hits Philadelphia as much as the Jersey Shore or a celebration of America’s birthplace on the 4th of July. Citizens Bank Park is once again the place to be.

Start your day off right by listening to The Andie Summers Show weekday mornings from 5:30am to 10am. They’ll make you feel good.
