Philadelphia Phillies
Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of USAToday.com It has come to my attention that Phillies fans love bromances. What's a bromance you ask?

Posted by Danielle Wilson Two years ago, on this day, Philadelphia lost one of the greatest voices in the world; Hall of Fame broadcaster Harry Kalas. The voice of the Phillies.
