The sound of Philadelphia (Crashing): Braves 7, Cheesesteaks 2

Above is a favorite of mine of the genre “TSOP.” Let it be your musical and practical theme for last night. The Atlanta Braves have burned the mother up, all 100 stories, all 90 wins.

Philadelphia was the wealthiest, most educated, and largest city in the new United States. The first thing that drove New York upward was a yellow fever epidemic in the 1790’s. The people who could afford to move did. The ones who couldn’t move didn’t. So, they boo Santa Claus. (The second thing that drove New York’s development was the Erie Canal added to the steam engine, by the way).
