I dont know if any non-Philadelphia sportsfan is aware of this, but the Phillies are 2 games away from becoming the first sports franchise ever to reach this dubious mark..
Fans are poised to celebrate with a parade. At least the mark wont be reached in hated NYC or Atlanta.. Colorado, StLouis, or LAD will have the honor..
In case you are wondering, the next in line to 10000 losses are also baseball teams: Braves have 9600+ and the Cubs, Reds, and Pirates have 9300+
There are even websites dedicated to the subject.. Some extol the perserverance of Phillies fans through the years in the face of terrible ownership and poor management, others just use the event to rag on the current ownership. I'm somewhere in the middle.
Phillies: Since 1883, 9998 losses, 5 pennants, 1 world championship.
