DBacks Rematch with Phillies And The Locker Room Goes To Sea Isle

The Arizona DiamondBacks return to Citizens Bank Park for the first time since they beat the Phillies in last year’s National League Championship Series. It will be a painful reminder for some Phillies fans of how the Phils season ended last year. The D-Backs are in third place in the National League West so far this season with a 37-38 record. But Arizona has won five of their last seven games and they top ten in Major League Baseball in Runs Scored, Batting Average, and On-Base Percentage. Despite injuries to Diamondbacks top pitchers Merrill Kelly and South Jersey product Zac Gallen, young stars Corbin Carroll and Ketel Marte look to prove last year’s outcome wasn’t a fluke.

The Locker Room with Billy Schweim will be Broadcasting Live from Sea Isle City at Connor Barwin’s Make the World Better Pickleball Tournament.

Here's Jason Kelce's $2.2 Million Beach House in Sea Isle City, New Jersey

Ever since Jason Kelce made his emotional retirement announcement, the former Eagles Center has embraced the post-football life. Having grown up in Ohio and playing College Football at the University of Cincinnati, some would think Jason Kelce would spend his post-career years back at home, but he has chosen to live in New Jersey.

Thanks to his wife Kylie growing up in the Suburban Philadelphia area and playing his entire NFL career for the Eagles, Jason Kelce has now planted his life here in Eagles Country. After vacationing in Sea Isle City for years, the Kelces have purchased a Beach House in South Jersey. Makes sense considering Sea Isle City is one of the 50 Best Places to Retire in New Jersey and one of the best towns to live in Cape May County.

Reportedly sold for $2.2 Million right off the boardwalk, check out Jason Kelce's Sea Isle City Beach House
