A tip of the hat for remaining a Phillies fan, for they have to endure the indignity of being the losers of more games in MLB history.

I went to my first game in 1976. I've been a fan ever since. My 5-year-old daughter just put a poster of the Phanatic on her wall yesterday (I signed her up for the Phanatic Club). She's hooked (I hope).
It's easy now, though. These are the salad days of the franchise. The Phils are one of the best teams in the bigs right now. Most of the stars are home-grown, too.
I miss having the Expos around, though. I'd much rather have them in MLB than the Nationals, who are barely drawing anyone even the first week of the season.
