As a Philly family, Black Friday was something you asbolutely AVOIDED at all costs, repeated throughout the decades. We drove back to Lancaster on Thanksgiving night every year so not to get caught in the craziness Friday no matter how early. Thanks for the history @einavrfox.bsky.social !

Patriots To Play As Somerset Semiquincentennials To Commemorate America’s 250th Celebration The Somerset Patriots, the New York Yankees Double-A affiliate, will play as the Somerset Semiquincentennials for four games during the 2026 season to commemorate America’s 250th Celebration.
