I’m not much of a baseball fan. But when the Phillies walk into Yankee stadium and whomp the Yankees, well it’s certainly something I’ll notice. For many years Phillies fans were kind of embarassed to admit that they were, well, Phillies fans. My guess is a lot of them are still waiting for them to screw it up. Even after winning it last year, the circumstances were weird with the split 5th game and what not, so it didn’t seem like they ever got the credit normally due a World Series Champ.
Winning 2 in a row is a whole different thing though. People tend to notice that sort of accomplishment.
