Inqlings: Victorino and Hamels: Pitchmen

Postseason life will not slow down for some Phillies.

Agents for

Shane Victorino

and

Cole Hamels

say they are weighing tantalizing endorsement offers. This is beyond sundry appearance fees, which vary widely, depending on the event and sponsor. (I hear that during the playoffs, Victorino commanded $7,500 for a two-hour signing.)

"We're only weighing high-end sponsorship deals," says

Kurt Wenger

, who handles Victorino's marketing and recently signed the speedy centerfielder with Modell's Sporting Goods.

"His name is very important," Wenger says. "This is not a quantitative issue. It's a qualitative issue."

Hamels and Victorino sold memorabilia Friday night on electronic retailer QVC with Hall of Famer

Mike Schmidt

before Victorino left for Hawaii for his grandmother's funeral. Wenger has more to discuss when he returns. "We weren't talking about [deals] during the World Series because his focus was on playing," Wenger says.

Local deals will have to wait for super-closer

Brad Lidge

, who is headed to Florida to be with his very pregnant wife,

Lindsay

.

Hamels, who has worked for Dunkin' Donuts, Louisville Slugger, Hugo Boss and Adidas, will turn up tomorrow at Macy's in Center City to sell Waterford crystal from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Hamels, who drives a Dodge (part of his deal with a local dealership), won a 2010 Camaro for being Series MVP, and gave it to wife

Heidi Strobel

, who turned 30 the day of the win.

Hamels, who recently signed with MAB Celebrity Sports to market his John Hancock, will fly to L.A. Tuesday to appear on

The Best Damn Sports Show Period

and

Jimmy Kimmel Live

. Hamels was helicoptered to New York Thursday to meet

David Letterman

and do the "Top 10 List" on the

Late Show

.

"Time management is important," says Hamels' agent,

John Boggs

, who met Hamels when the pitcher was a senior at Rancho Bernardo High in San Diego. "We're trying the slow, sure route to strengthen his brand. . . . What's more important is what he does on the field. As he enters the '09 season, he's obviously on a world stage."

Perhaps the fan who has everything can pick up the "Go Phillies. Beat the Rays!" banner that Resorts had slapped on a Walt Whitman Bridge billboard. The casino put the 60-foot-by-20-foot vinyl sign on eBay - starting bid $500, free shipping, item No. 320315067374. Proceeds are destined to the United Way of Atlantic County.

When the housing market went kablooey, Williamstown-bred real estate agent

Megan Heaton

poured herself into modeling. Her efforts got her notice with

Howard Stern

, and she's Miss Howard TV this month, introducing Stern's On Demand episodes.

Heaton, 25 and a Rutgers-Camden marketing grad, says the work wasn't too hard - reading a 'PrompTer. "But I had to leave [for New York] at 3:30 to get there at 6 a.m., and I had only two hours of sleep," says Heaton, who has a Playboy "Employee of the Month" featurette, which got her an invite to a Halloween party at the Playboy Mansion in L.A. (She was dressed as a French maid, and was not surprised to find she wasn't the only one.) In 10 years, she hopes to have her own business, preferably in real estate, "if the market comes back."

The writing is on the wall - if not on the contract - that

Danny Bonaduce

will host mornings on WYSP (94.1) starting Nov. 10. Expect official word tomorrow. When I asked Bonaduce a month ago about it, he said: "If they offered me a job in Philly, I would be on the next plane." Bonaduce, the Broomall-bred, onetime

Partridge Family

star, who worked here from 1988 to 1993 on the late Eagle 106, does but one hour a day on CBS's KLSX in L.A. (Bonaduce has been underemployed since he was kicked off

Adam Carolla's

show in December. CBS, which owns WYSP, wants to keep him under contract.) Bonaduce will have his sidekick,

Shila

, and will pick up the producing services of

Michael "Metro" Cerio

, who worked for

Kidd Chris

, fired in May.

Tune to 97.5, and yule hear Christmas music. Programmers at upstart light-rocker WNUW (Now 97.5) decided that the Phillies' World Series win was an early Christmas gift, so they flipped the switch Friday afternoon. It's not clear whether Now 97.5 will ho-ho-ho till Dec. 25, or if this is a stunt.

KYW Newsradio will start streaming Christmas music on its Web site (

) tomorrow, commercial-free, through Jan. 4.

Later this week, gospel WPPZ (103.9) will begin sprinkling in secular and religious Christmas tunes. WBEB (B101), which traditionally goes all-Christmas in November, is polling listeners for its start date.

Center City-bred

Stephanie Gatschet

and three of her former

Guiding Light

costars -

Caitlin Van Zandt

(Ashlee Wolfe),

Bonnie Dennison

(Daisy Lemay), and

Lawrence Saint-Victor

(Remy Boudreau) - will be on the Parkway today for the third annual "Free to Breathe" 5K. Gatschet (who played Tammy Winslow till earlier this year) organized this in honor of her mother,

Nancy Gatschet

, a lung-cancer survivor and local volunteer chair.

A bet's a bet. Fox29 meteorologist

John Bolaris

threw down with his Tampa Fox TV counterpart,

Paul Dellegatto

, over the Series outcome. The loser was to wear the winning team's full uniform. Dellegatto wimped out Thursday and wore only a Phillies jersey.

Thursday was opening night of the Philadelphia Theatre Company's world-premiere production of

Unusual Acts of Devotion

by

Terrence McNally

, featuring

Richard Thomas

.

Nathan Lane

, who participated with McNally and Thomas in last fall's gala opening of the theater, was in the audience.

Lauren Hart

will sing and

Gov. Rendell

is expected to show up at a "YoBama" get-out-the-vote rally tomorrow night at the Twenty Manning restaurant near Rittenhouse Square.

Yesterday's lunch crowd at Famous 4th Street Deli in Queen Village went wild as Phillies manager

Charlie Manuel

stopped in with fiancee

Missy Martin

, who told owners

Russ and Ilene Cowan

that she's in all the time. (The matzo balls

are

the size of baseballs.) Manuel had eggs and bologna.

KYW-AM (1060) plans to stream Christmas music on its Web site,
