Philadelphia Phillies Winning the World Series

[admin]

Philadelphia Phillies Winning the World SeriesPhiladelphia’s last four World Series wins coincided with recessions. The Athletics’ 1929 and 1930 titles came in the early stages of the Great Depression, while the Phillies’ 1980 win came amid the energy-crisis fueled downturn and 2008 title during the worst of the Great Recession.Coincidence, Not an Indicator: It may be important to point out that even though this connection has been widely covered, it is almost assuredly a coincidence. It is unlikely that anyone would actually support a reason why there is a connection between the World Series winner and the overall economic health of the United States.
