First off, METS SUCK, YANKEES SWALLOW!!!! As a lifetime Phillie's fan, I have seen the best of times (1980, 2008), and the worst of times (1988-1992, 1994-2002). I have witnessed Phillie's greats like Michael Jack, Lefty, Rose, Utley, Howard, Rollins, but was in the stands when they trotted out our Steve's to name a few: Jeltz, Lake and Ontiveros. I have also heard the best, Whitey and Harry, and now maybe the worst, Wheels and Sarge (loved you as a player, but damn...). These things are not news to any true Phan, but had to get these things off my chest. This year, I will be at about 30 to 40 Phils' games this year, which will add to my running total of about 1000.
In my posts, I will take you to the twenty six Major League ballparks that I have visited and usually the bars and establishments that are located in that city. I can also take questions regarding to roadtrips that anyone plans to take, except Muts fans. I have often found great hotels that are walking distance to the ballpark. Some, even have free "Happy Hours" before games! I have also found that Phillies Phans have the worst reputation, but when you talk to actual baseball people, they wish their fans had our passion. This season, I am also planning an August/ September trip to San Fran and Oak-town or Houston/ Texas. Maybe you guys can sway me either way. Well, lets play ball and...
LET'S RAISE ANOTHER RED BANNER ON OPENING DAY 2011, GO PHILS!
Great work! You had me at free happy hours!!!
