The Phait Is Phover

The wait is over, announces Sportsillustrated-dot-com, the Phillies win their first World Series since 1980. I am glad to hear it, and happy for the rare Phillies fan who has entered my life, but let's have a little perspective: in a league of thirty teams, the Phillies won it twenty-eight years ago. I don't know, and won't research, how many teams were in the league in 1980; it won't have been many fewer.

Oh my God! That wait was so average in length!
