Many people don't realize this but the red sox and the phillies are their respected cities SECOND rate team. Thats right, both organizations are pretty much the equivalent to the mets. The boston braves and the philideplia A's were the premiere and dominate teams from those cities that everyone adored, and when they deserted and broke the hearts of millions, the fans had no choice but to convert to being sox and phillies admirers. Its really rather interesting if you think about it. Many of the older fans long for the days when the vintage A's would own the fields and give even murderers row a run for their money. They talk and dream and recollect with a sad underlying acceptance that the under achieving modern day teams will never fully live up to the antique dominance of the 40s.
