A North Country baseball great passes away by David Sommerstein on September 1st, 2009 Just saw the news that former Clarkson Golden Knight and New York Yankee, Jack Phillips, died on Sunday. I had the pleasure of interviewing him in 2004. You can hear his thrilling story, from playing with Joe DiMaggio to getting showered with ticker tape in a World Series victory parade in the Canyon of Heroes, by clicking here.
