Paul Owens - Philadelphia Phillies

1st anniversary of Paul Owens being named manger of the Phillies

Paul 'The Pope” Owens (1924 – 2003) - American Major League Baseball front office executive, manager, and scout. Earlier, during his playing career, Owens was a first baseman and catcher, and then a manager, in minor league baseball

Owens' entire Major League career was spent with the Philadelphia Phillies. He was the general manager and principal architect of the 1980 Phillies, who won the third National League (NL) pennant and became the first World Series champion in franchise history — breaking a 97-year streak of futility dating to the team's founding in 1883. Owens was general manager of the Phillies from June 3, 1972, through the end of 1984, and twice (1972; 1983–1984) added the title of field manager to his job description

In 1983, he took the managerial reins of the Phillies in mid-season and led them to their fourth pennant, but lost to the Baltimore Orioles in the 1983 World Series. After his tenure as manager ended the following year, he remained with the team as an advisor and scout for the rest of his life

Ball Ground, Ga - poster stamp

Ball Ground, Ga - 1939 - John Coulthard poster stamp on cover

Ball Ground is a city in Cherokee County, Georgia, United States. The city was originally Cherokee territory before they were removed from the land and it was given to white settlers. A railroad was built in 1882 and a town was formed around the resulting railroad stop. The town was incorporated on January 1, 1883, and became an industrial-based economy largely centered around its marble industry until around the mid-20th century

 John Coulthard was a producer and artist on cachets for first day cover, naval covers and a set of poster stamps on envelopes with strange town names: Ball Ground, Ga - Gasoline, Tx - Bald Knob, WVa - Hell's half Acre, Wy - among the list
