Curse of Billy Penn...Does it end Tonight
The Curse of William Penn is an alleged curse, sometimes used to explain the failure of professional sports teams based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to win championships since the March 1987 construction of the One Liberty Place skyscraper, which exceeded the height of William Penn's statue atop Philadelphia City Hall.[1] Since then, no Philadelphia major sports team (baseball, football, basketball, or hockey) has won a league championship. The last professional team to win a championship in the four major sports was the Philadelphia 76ers in the 1983 NBA Finals, when they swept the Los Angeles Lakers in four games. This curse has gained such prominence in Philadelphia that a documentary film by the same name, The Curse of William Penn, has been produced about it
There is a website dedicated to the losing streak that has been 9281 days since a major Philadelphia sports team has won a championship here is the website http://www.phillysucks.com/
They also have a counter up for tonights game
The Countdown to Heartbreak!
This new counter below is counting down to the earliest approximate time the Phillies could have blown this and lost the World Series.
I am pretty sure if the Phillies win tonight the city will be destroyed becuase of the riot
