I remember when Pete Rose was my favorite player and I switched to being a Phillies fan. Back in 1980 they were at their peak in a way I have not seen any other sports town since.
Between 1979-81, I believe, they had won the World Series, the Stanley Cup, the NFC, and the 76er's lost to the Lakers in the NBA finals.
Since then, Philly truly hasn't been much of a threat to win anything (they may have a team go somewhere for a year then fall apart the next)..... but those few years were glorious......

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
