Apparently the live broadcast was incorrrect, my name is Thomas Earle, not Henry Bloom. I am the CEO of Liberty Resources a Center for Independent Living for kids and adults with disabilities living in the Philadlephia area. The stadium announcers got my introduction right but the TV announcers got me mixed up with Henry, Maybe you can edit your web description to notate my correct name. I had a blast and I am so glad I threw a strike. Go Phils! Hi Guys:
