I stand corrected!
Philly is technically #3 behind DFW and HOU (They’re splitting DC and BAL which is a little stupid.)
PS: Tigers? Really?!? Unless you’re speaking of …

No... The Phillies aren't even close to the largest nationally recognized team. Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers are the top 3 and Cubs, Giants , Tigers. You made that up.... not facts at all.
I think @SaveFarris_PSN 's point was the "single-market" comment. Yankees/Mets, Dodgers/Angels, Giants/A's, Cubs/White Sox...
Philadelphia by population is much bigger than Detroit and Boston.

People asked for Roy Halladay, they gave them Roy Halladay.
We asked for Roy Halladay not Roy Oswalt!

....well that literally has nothing to do with baseball then. The Phillies barely can sellout their home games... I mean the Red Sox and Yankees are so well traveled they sellout other teams stadiums. The Red Sox have soldout 745 home games in a row currently. The Yankees are the only team in baseball that outsells them in apparel and the Phillies aren't even ranked top 10 in most fans nationally. So even if he meant population... do you think Philadelphia has a higher population than New York city or Los Angeles???

Any list you will find of most fans nationally isn't even putting Phillies in top 5... nevermind bigger than the big 3.

No, I get that. His main comment was "single market". That's all I was trying to address. Of course New York and Los Angeles are bigger, but they each have 2 teams.
P.S. I have no dog in this fight. Of all the big cities I've traveled to, Philadelphia scares me the most. Those people are frightening. And.... fight!

Ive never gone to a baseball game where the phillies are not playing and ever seen a phillies hat or uniform worn by anyone.
I have gone to games where I see Red Sox, Yankees, Dodgers hats/gears worn by people where those teams are not even playing in the game I'm attending.

Florida is especially Red Sox favored.... a lot of people retire in New England and move down to Florida. I see Red Sox gear everywhere in Florida. I see a lot Yankees, Cubs, Dodgers gear worn here in Massachusetts.... but never even met a Phillies fan here.

Whoever thought of doing a team specific program was really off the mark.
I have no interest in this 2nd inn program this year. I have no interest in the Phillies or their history and players. I don't hate the Phillies, but its not a team I am interested in. And why the Phillies of all teams? Its not a nationally recognized team like say the Yankees or Dodgers.
Anyway, first time in 6 years playing DD I have no interest. I usually like to do all the program missions but screw it w/ this program. Don't feel like doing multiple pitching missions w/ Halladay or any of these guys.
Just wanted to say that. Im sure Im not the only one feeling this way. Hopefully we see no more team specific programs thru the 22 cycle.
See you again 6 years

6 years? I don't think you understood my post. If they come back w/ an inning program that isn't team based next week, then I'll probably play it.

Reading these comments and its obvious that people dont understand the difference between "largest market" and "most popular"

Camden Yards is like Fenway 2. Sox fans outnumber Os fans easily and probably at a much larger percentage, maybe 75 percent Sox fans.

I'm putting myself in the camp of "DOES understand".

You're entitled to play, or not play, the game however you want. But I honestly don't understand this it all. I don't give a [censored] about Halladay or the Phillies either. But I still want the cards, either to sell or for collections. I still want the stubs and all the packs. This program has cover choice packs, art packs, and the usual ballin and headliners and big dog packs. Plus regular packs of course. You don't want any of that just because you don't like the Phillies??

Phillies are the largest single-market team. And in my experience, they travel better than any other team.
No... The Phillies aren't even close to the largest nationally recognized team. Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers are the top 3 and Cubs, Giants , Tigers. You made that up.... not facts at all.
yes....the Phillies ARE the largest SINGLE-MARKET team in MLB.
100% factual.

That's fine, but this is the quote that is incredibly off base:
"And in my experience, they travel better than any other team."
There's no debate there. It's easily,
- Red Sox
- Yankees
- Dodgers, Cubs, Cardinals, Braves, etc.
Way before you even come close to mentioning the Phillies.

The Halladay program is a glorified evolution program and I hope there aren't more like it in the future. That said I also completed it easily by doing mini seasons, which is how I've been getting exp/stubs anyway. Program was kind of secondary to how I already play and there were a couple good rewards (Takashi/CA packs).

Still makes no sense as to why he would think that means anything. The Phillies are a middle of the pack franchise and are not well traveled. There's the big 3 and then a few stragglers well behind them and then nothing close after that. They are definitely not even close to a well traveled team. I literally never met a Phillies fan in my life. And I never said anything about single market teams, because that isn't relevant whatsoever to his point. They have had games this season not soldout and the Red Sox have sold out 745 games in a row and still counting.... as far as large fan bases, the Phillies aren't even in the conversation.
