Running Numbers

1 to 1 Final score of the 24-inning game between the Detroit Tigers and the Philadelphia A's on July 21, 1945.

100 Percent of profits from the charity softball game pitting Q102 against the Philadelphia Fire Department's Engine 55 and Ladder 22 that will be donated to the Firefighter's Widow Fund. First pitch at 5:30 p.m. on July 21, Front Street and Hunting Park Avenue. The PFD better hope for another 24-inning tie — I heard Chio can straight up hit the ball.

$1,000 Yearly salary of the first postmaster general, Benjamin Franklin, agreed upon by the Second Continental Congress when founding the Post Office Department in Philadelphia on July 26, 1775. According to legend, the design of those goofy-looking mail trucks came from a doodle Ben once drew on a bar napkin.

$100,000,000 Amount of the damages awarded to each of the two plaintiffs in their diet-drug lawsuit against Wyeth pharmaceutical company in the first phase of the trial. Court of Common Pleas Judge Paul P. Panepinto postponed the second phase of the trial, as well as Wyeth's motion for a mistrial, until July 25. Strangely enough, the pharmaceutical marketing seminar, "New Branding Paradigm: Building Shareholder Value through Quality, Safety, and Price," runs July 25-26 at the Westin Philadelphia. Awkward.
