New York, New York

In the words of the one and only Francis Albert Sinatra: Start spreading the news!

It’s the Phils and Yankees in the World Series, a dream come true for local baseball lovers.

The truth is there are those who believe that chip the size of a cheesesteak that sits on the shoulder of so many surly Philly fans comes in no small part due to the fact that we have spent our lives in the shadow of New York City.

Halfway between Gotham City and the nation’s capital in D.C., we too often get overlooked.

Not this week.

Now we get a chance to knock off the Evil Empire, otherwise known as the New York Yankees.

It’s the I-95 series. The Battle of the Jersey Turnpike. The Bronx Bombers vs. Ryan’s Hope. The Big Apple vs. the Big Pretzel.

Buckle your seat belts, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
