On October 27, 2008, the Philadelphia Phillies will try to claim their second world title. As it turns out, that day will also be the 326th anniversary of the town's founding. (My source for the latter tidbit is wikipedia, so take that as you will).
Could be an interesting anniversary for the city of Brotherly Love.
