* "Sarge" turns author

November 29, 2008

Another former player turns (co)author in Phillies Confidential: The Untold Story of the 2008 Championship Season. (How anything of importance remains untold in this day and age is a mystery.)

Matthews — not to be confused with teammate Gary “The Secretary of State” Maddox — was with the team from 1981-83, thereby missing the last time the Phils won the world championship. Yet he gets title billing over Scott Lauber, who you just know did the heavy lifting.

Hey Ron,

Just a heads up to let you know that Maddox’s nickname was the “Secretary of Defense” and not the “Secretary of State.” That’s Hillary Clinton’s new nickname. 🙂

Thanks, Mike: Better I should make that mistake than our new president.

Matthews was with the team from 1981-83, thereby missing the last time the Phils won the world championship, but he was the MVP of the series in 1982, that is when he became abusive to his family; his wife filed for divorce and split because he was out of control; she was sick of the cover-ups regarding drug abuse and infidelity. If you only knew the “real” Phillies Confidential.
