It's World Series Time: Go Phils!

It's been a long time coming. My sons have never seen a championship of any sort from a Philadelphia team. And the Phils last won the Series back in 1980. I was in my 2nd year of college, and boy things have changed...and in some cases...things are much the same.






Last time the Phils won the series:


A gallon of gasoline - $1.19
New house - $68,000
New car - $7,000
Average income - $19,000
