It’s already been a banner year for Philadelphia sports.
If there’s cherry to go on top of a sports sundae that includes the Philadelphia Eagle first-ever Super Bowl championship, it will come in the form of a Philadelphia Phillies run to the MLB postseason.
On Saturday, that possibility took a notable step in the direction of becoming a reality. For the first time in seven seasons, the Phillies moved into sole possession of first place in the National League East after defeating the Toronto Blue Jays 2-1 at Citizens Bank Park.
The milestone doesn’t signify an official changing of the guard in the division.
