The biggest story in the days leading up to the Yankees-Phillies World Series has been trash talk between the respective fan bases, most of which, I'm sure, has been sprinkled with the phrase "you think you're better than me"?
I know a lot of Yankees and Phillies fans, and I've been to games in both places and you know what? The fan bases aren't all that different from one another. They're both passionate and obsessed, they're both loud, and they both consist of a small but still too-large minority of drunken, violent hooligans.
One more thing- don't give me any of this "Win One For George" bullshit. Steinbrenner already has five rings, and he's not exactly a sympathetic or likable figure to begin with. The implication is that he's in poor health and/or near death, yet no one has come right out and said that.
At any rate, should be a series for the ages. Phillies in 7.
