City of Brotherly Love

The second stop of UBW2 was Philadelphia, which provided a great, unique experience, even though we were only there about six hours.

No longer standing, Philadelphia's Veterans Stadium was nothing special.

Game two of the weekend was Boston at Philadelphia, with Pedro Martinez on the hill for the Red Sox. We saw the 43rd to last game ever played at the dump known as the Vet.

Todd Pratt hits an exciting, walkoff homer to send the Phillies past the Red Sox 6-5 in 13 innings, almost four and a half years to the day before being exposed as a steroid user in the Mitchell Report. Dunn approves anyway.

Dunn does his best Rocky Balboa impression on the steps Sylvester Stallone made famous.

Philly was a key second leg of UBW2.
