Bio

Jay Floyd’s grandfather drove the Phillies’ bus for regional road trips during the 1960’s. Since those days, baseball was in the family.

In the past decade, Jay has spent time as a coach to teenage players, as a minor league reporter and as a weekly radio analyst during the professional baseball season.

This web site, PhoulBallz.com, served as a launching pad for Jay to start writing about the great sport and the site’s affiliation with the Townsquare Media group’s Shore Sports Network allowed Jay to cover local minor league clubs, like the Lakewood BlueClaws, from the inside.

Jay is a published writer and photographer in a freelance capacity and he spent more than six years with PhilliesNation.com as a minor league contributor.  As PhilliesNation grew and debuted its weekly television program in 2012, Jay was also regularly featured as a correspondent and panelist on the show.



Additionally, Jay co-hosted a successful internet radio show, known as The PhoulBallz Minor League Podcast, along with Tug Haines.  That show, which featured live call-in interviews and in-studio guests would garner thousands of weekly downloads during its time in production.

During his time covering baseball, Jay has interviewed various players, coaches and team personnel from the minor leagues to the Majors, including All-Stars, Cy Young Award winners, team executives as well as Hall of Famers.

Harry Kalas Phorever...

Legendary broadcaster Harry Kalas passed away today. Harry collapsed while preparing to call today's game against the Washington Nationals. So many phans will feel as though we've lost a member of our own families. I feel as though I've lost a part of myself, but Harry enhanced my love of the great sport we call baseball and I will always carry that love, and Harry, in my heart. I've stated on this page before that I consider Harry more of a Phillie than anyone who wears the uniform as an active member of the roster. Harry Kalas was a Phillie. Moreso, Harry Kalas was the Phillies. Please share your thoughts and memories of Harry in the comments section, or send them to PhoulBallz (at) verizon (dot) net.

Ryan Madson is acting questionable

I've seen similar types of "poking fun" entries on other Phillies blogs. When this picture came across my desk today, I figured, "Why not...?" Ryan Madson was out on the town (Manayunk) over the weekend and was photographed acting pretty with a purse slung over his shoulder and being chummy with a friend of mine. Can I really call him a friend, if he's actually my friends' friend , and I only prank called him once? Sure, why the heck not?!
