10,000 hardcore Phillies fans prior to the Bank opening? How are you counting fans?
I dunno about most of the readers of Salon, but I couldn't (and can't now) shell out for more than 12-15 games a year. That doesn't mean that I'm not spending the spring and summer with Harry Kalas (the greatest voice currently working in Baseball) and Chris Wheeler (the worst voice currently working in Baseball).
My family has been Phillie fans as long as the team (and the family) has been here.
Phillies fans are loyal. Just because some shitty product was on the field for a long time shouldn't reflect on the fans.
And don't compare us to the Johnny Come Lately Rays fans.
They may be the better team (actually more hyped team), but we are the better fans.
