Well, I don't have to point out that I'm an entertainment junkie, not a sports fiend. But I do fancy romanticizing the air of sports fandom in Philly, especially considering how ferocious our city is getting for a championship. It's more about celebrating who we are than home runs and ground rule doubles. And with The Phils building some big hopes up around here, I wanted to re-share a post I wrote about them last year when they were knocked out of the playoffs that I feel has some relevance to this year's NLCS series. Cheers.
