Trains and Baseball really do go together historically, from getting to the game, onto redeveloping old rail yards into ballparks. But the Phillie's fans whining about a "lifetime of disappointment" is all wrong. Six Major League Cities have never won a WS ever, and Seattle has never even been to one, while Philadelphia (counting the A's) are fourth on the list of victories and appearances. And they just won 2 years ago -- give the "disappointment" line a break !!!!! WS Wins and appearances by market...
