Bobbies stationed outside the mansion described the event as a "mild affair.

DAVID SALE JR. was a passionate sports enthusiast and was the proud owner of "a box truck" full of baseball cards and Pittsburgh Steelers memorabilia. "Why don't you sell this stuff and buy a home?" Grant Lindaberry, Sale's former Lansdale neighbor, recalled asking the young man. Sale, 22, never had a chance to heed Lindaberry's advice before his life was cut short Saturday night in a parking lot outside McFadden's restaurant at Citizens Bank Park. Sale, who was enjoying a bachelor party at the Phillies' ballpark and then inside the eatery, was pummeled to death during a brawl with a group of men who'd chartered a bus from a Fishtown bar for the game.

Adapted from a recent online discussion. Question: My fiance and his buddies are planning his bachelor party in Atlantic City and I hope will spend their time playing poker and hanging out. I know it's common for guys to hire strippers, but I am absolutely disgusted by the thought of him watching/touching/getting lap-danced by some naked girl. I have told him this and I think he gets it, but he won't really be planning it himself. This is making me crazy. To the point that when he left his e-mail open the other day I actually searched for the word stripper . And you know what came up?

Former Phillie Lenny Dykstra continued his long plunge from the heights of baseball this week when he was sentenced to three years in California prison for grand theft auto. It was the latest in a series of legal problems that have beset the one-time All Star since he retired from the major leagues in 1998.

As best man for his sister's fiance, Daniel Curran said, he planned everything for the two-day bachelor party: the get-together on the night of July 24, 2009; the next day's trip to see the Phillies play the Cardinals at Citizens Bank Park; and a limousine to take home the 20 to 25 celebrants at the end of the night.
