Tell me you’re from Philly without telling me you’re from Philly…
I’d guess former Suns forward Mikal Bridges will need to spend hours blocking his Arizona fan base. Good luck!

Sarah Kezele dropping some knowledge on the series. Are we still doubting the Diamondbacks?
The D-backs were the underdog in every round of the postseason:
– Swept the Brewers
– Swept the Dodgers
– KO'd the Phillies in G7They reach the World Series with 84 reg-season wins, third-lowest in history behind โ73 Mets (82 wins), โ06 Cardinals (83 wins).#EmbraceTheChaos

With that extra base hit, #Dbacks 2B Ketel Marte has not only set an MLB record (16 game postseason hitting streak) but heโs tied the all-time club record for hits in a single postseason with 19.

Comparing the Phillies payroll to the Diamondbacks’ is like comparing apples and oranges…or tomatoes. Ketel Marte boasts the highest salary on Arizona’s roster, at $11.6 million while Bryce Harper is the Phillies highest earner at over $27.5 million.

My personal recommendation…
Find a local sports bar for every World Series game. Get there early. Eat some wings. Drink your drink of choice. And enjoy this momentous occasion that has been 22 years in the making.
The DBACKS are off to the World Series!!! Something tells me you can hear the cheers from Native Grill in Ahwatukee from the top of South Mountain๐โพ๏ธ๐๏ธ pic.twitter.com/nU3GofXTr4
