For the baseball folk.
Headline looks like a mass media hit piece on the Iraqi war!
At least they hold a record. They should be admitted to the baseball hall of blame, or shame.
an average of 80 losses a year. I remember going to a game at the old Vet back in the late 80’s and not even having to get up to get a foul ball that landed several seats away from me and rolled up to my seat.
Let it be known-
The Braves franchise has existed since 1870, 13 years before the Phillies. It is also the only team to have played EVERY SEASON since the inception of the Major Leagues.
The second place in losing merely reflects this.
That is all.
I’ll never forget the world Series we missed in 1964 when the Phillies choked and Ran out of gas in their Bull pen. I’ll never forget the year in the early 70’s when carleton was pushing 30 wins and was most of the wins on the entire staff combined. I’ll never forget in the 1990’s when the Phillies would play over their heads against the Yankees and win the series and Steinbrenner would go nuts!
I’ll never forget when tug mCGraw Came out during the ceremonies to close the Vet! I ‘ll never forget in HS my summer Job delivering Beer to BY Saam’s house the Voice Harry was replacing..
I’ll never forget flying into Toronto a week after the World series loss...and my potential JV Partner taking me to the hard Rock at the Toronto Blue Jays.. and Pointing out where Joe Carters Homerun hit!
I’ll never forget the Security guards pound their fists in their hands and looking at the Angelo Cataldi WIP crowd in the 700 level their to Boo JD Drew...The Philly security were actually inciting violence it was my last Phillies game in philly!
