A Brad Fox Law is headed for Gov. Tom Corbett's desk, though it's perhaps not the one some gun control advocates might hope for. House Bill 898, which imposes a mandatory minimum five-year sentence for the second and subsequent violations of the provisions of state law governing the sale of firearms, was unanimously passed by the state Senate on Wednesday. The law also permanently revokes any license to sell, import, or manufacture firearms from such violators. The bill, now known as the "Brad Fox Law," was passed by the state House in April 2011. State Representative Marcy Toepel (R-147), who introduced the bill, said it had taken on "new significance" in the wake of Fox's murder last month. Fox's apparent killer, Andrew Thomas, who was …

As it so often is, baseball was at the center of something special in Plymouth Meeting on Tuesday. An All-star catcher for Major League Baseball, born 33 years ago in Panama, stood next to an 11-year-old Ugandan boy, as they clasped their fingers through a dugout fence and watched a homerun sail over the outfield wall. The catcher took a step back and smiled at the boy, extending an arm for a fist bump. Taking a moment to look the gesture over, the boy smiled back and popped his knuckles against those of Carlos Ruiz. Feet away, Jimmy Rollins, the longest tenured Philadelphia Phillie, walked briskly into the dugout and directly into an embrace with Ugandan manager Henry Odong.
