It's a countdown to an aspicious number. The number... 10,000. What is it?
It's the count to 10,000 major league losses. Seem like the Philadelphia Phillies have been around since 1883 and have been losing long enough that they have 9999 losses. To be fair they have 8808 wins. But the closest team has about 1000 less losses. It would take about 3 years of losing to catch up! You can see the stats at this link. But the stat is that they have more losses that any sports team in history.
Today the Phillies play StLouis. I'm not sure if it is an omen that the Phillies lose 10,000 on Friday the 13th?
Win or lose the Phils win tonight!
