Winning makes people like you. Ask the US soccer team today. Ask whoever wins this ridiculous tennis match at Wimbledon today (or tomorrow or whenever). You could ask the Philadelphia Phillies, too, who have been the darlings of that city’s sports scene ever since becoming World Effing Champions back in 2008.
Introducing SB Nation Philly, Where The World Champions Still Reign Supreme
Sure, sports fans in Philly take a lot of heat for being boorish and obnoxious, but one thing is certain: If you win in that town, you’re a hero forever. You’ll never buy a meal again. Talk to Chuck Bednarik, Dr. J, Bobby Clarke or Lefty. These guys are heroes at our newest regional site, SB Nation Philly.
Some of the other perks these guys get? How about taking the top three spots on SB Nation Philly’s inaugural Top Five list, written by the editor, Jason Brewer. Mike Richards just led his team on a remarkable playoff run, which included an 0-3 series comeback against Boston in Round 2, ultimately ending two steps shy of a Stanley Cup. He’s fifth on the list, behind three Phils and an Eagle. Should have won that Cup, Mike.
Maybe, if you’re a Philly fan, you disagree with this whole winners-take-the-spoils mentality. If so, why don’t you head over to SBN Philly and let your voice be heard? You could also vote in the poll below. You probably want to do both.
