The 1993 Philadelphia Phillies captured the hearts and imagination of the entire city. They were called throwbacks, they were called crazies, they were called "a motley crew of hairy, beer-soused brutes" by an out-of-town newspaper. Most importantly, for a town that had watched and suffered through a decade of mediocre baseball teams, this was a team you could actually like. This was a team you could root for and a team that never gave up. They lost the World Series, but they still rank just as high as the 1980 and 2008 teams in terms of overall popularity in Philly.
