One.
One team.
One city.
One dream.
No, I am not talking about the Philadelphia Eagles or their era of NFC dominance.
Instead, I am talking about those Philadelphia Phillies. The long ignored team of red, in a town that has forever bled Eagles' green, has finally made enough noise to *gasp* shift the City of Brotherly Love's focus away from the Birds and instead to October baseball.
While our beloved Eagles currently sit in the basement of the NFC East, the Phillies have been busy forging a path that led to the October Classic, with stops in Milwaukee and Los Angeles.
They hype was there when the Phillies took a 2-0 series lead in the NLDS against the Brewers. It was there at the end of Game Four, after the Phils clinched a spot in the NLCS and a date with the Dodgers.
The hype persisted to grow, after the Phillies took another 2-0 series lead against the LA boys in blue, and with the series at 2-1 entering Game Four in Chavez Ravine, Shane Victorino and Matt Stairs kept the hype alive with home runs in the top of the eighth.
The hype around the Phitin's had grown so much that leading up to Game Four and Game Five for the Phillies, the sports talk radio stations of Philadelphia seemed to forget about the beloved Eagles.
That same hype and passion was there in Game Five, with Cole Hamels set to clinch the team's first World Series appearance since 1993.
We're going to send you the most entertaining Los Angeles Dodgers articles, videos, and podcasts from around the web.
