I'm not a huge fan of reality TV, but I'll admit we've been long-time fans of the Amazing Race TV show. The show/race follows teams of two in a race around the world through a dozen or so episodes. Tonight is the season premiere of the show's 16th season, and we'll be tuning in to cheer on former Phillies coach Steve Smith. Steve is competing in the race with his daughter, Allison.Steve was the team's third base coach in 2007 and 2008, so he's got himself a World Series ring. Following the 2008 World Series, manager Charlie Manuel made the decision to cut ties with Steve and Mark Perlozzo was named third base coach for 2009. Steve is currently the third base coach for the Cleveland Indians.
Best of luck to Steve and Allison!
