The real reason I throw cold water on the Phillies is my utter distaste for them and most of their "fans". Living in Phillies territory my entire life is a reason that drove me to becoming a fan of any other franchise.
You’re such a snowflake.
I grew up in Philly but have not lived there in 37 years. Seems to me it’s more of an Iggles town. I don’t get back very often but the sports radio talk is about them most of the year.
