Jerry Wolman, the Shenandoah native who owned the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League for a number of years in the 1960's, has donated copies of his autobiography, The World's Richest Man, to the libraries of a number of Schuylkill and Lower Anthracite Region high schools. The event was held Friday, May 21 at the Shenandoah Historical Society. Students and athletic directors from Marian Catholic and Panther Valley High Schools were among those participating in the book donation event.

ALLENTOWN – In a season where Lehigh Valley is just 4-14 in one-run games and mired in a 21-game stretch that yielded just six wins, the IronPigs are hoping to have turned the corner.

Last night, Lehigh Valley finally put it all together as the IronPigs downed the Buffalo Bison 6-3 at Coca Cola Park for their second straight win.

"We got pitching, some timely hitting, and played good defense," Huppert said.
