This week's Spotlight focuses on the Austin, Texas-based rock band White Denim, which is scheduled to play Club Congress Saturday.
White Denim's lead singer is James Petralli, whose father is former major league catcher Geno Petralli.
Geno Petralli played 12 seasons for the Rangers and Blue Jays.
Petralli led all of baseball in passed balls with 35 in 1987, 20 in 1988, and 20 in 1990. His 35 passed balls established a Major League single-season record.
Most of Petralli's past balls occurred when he was catching a famous knuckleball pitcher.
For a chance to win an audio book tell us the name of that knuckleballer, who pitched until he was 46 years old.
Phil Villarreal has worked for the Daily Star since birth, but he's been the movie critic since February 2001. You could say he's a fan of the cinema. Each day he wakes up to a plate of steaming scrambled movies, which he washes down with a glass of movie juice, all while watching a movie. In his free time he plays video games and watches movies. Phil's new book, the humorous, money saving guide "Secrets of a Stingy Scoundrel" is due out Sept. 1 and available for preorder.

Bravo to efilmcritic.com’s Erik Childress, who unleashed his annual expository tirade on the sick underbelly of the film criticism profession. Too many of the laudatory quotes on movie ads come from blurbmeisters striving to top one another with ridiculous, unwarranted praise.
The volume of the research in Childress’ piece merits a Pulitzer. No exaggeration. Credit Childress with helping to raise public awareness of one of the worst offenders, Pete Hammond, who was axed by Maxim, as reported by Radar Monday. Now maybe Maxim can hire on a critic with a little credibility.
