Phil "Spendodger" Spencer Passes

I didn't want to draw too much attention to it, but when I saw that dodgers.com ran a story on it, I changed my mind. Phil Spencer, or as he was known on the fan forums, Spendodger, passed away December 16th; he was 75. Born Phil Spalletta, he changed his surname to Spencer after becoming a radio broadcaster; he later became president of the New York State Broadcasters Association and a member of the board of directors for the National Association of Broadcasters. His regular reports on spring training as well as his curmudgeonly commentary made the old Dodger forums that much more interesting. Phil -- good morrow to you, wherever you are.
