Philly hasn't had any of the 4 major sport teams win a championship since the 76ers in 1983. That's a pretty long drought. I'm not predicting anything [removing the jinx factor]; just taking it one game at a time, but I feel really good and relaxed as exciting as these games are. In other words, I'm really enjoying this! I've always been a Phillies baseball fan first, as that was the only sport my father and I watched together when I was a kid. I grew to like football later, but I'm not nearly as passionate with it. I'd put basketball and hockey in a tie for third and mostly only follow the 76ers and Flyers when they're in the playoffs. The Phils hold a special place for me, though they've frustrated to no end too with just one world series championship since their start in 1883.
If it does come down to them and the Sox, I think it would be a hell of a series. Not looking past the Dodgers here though. Damn this is fun!
