The last time we had this feeling was 2018 when the Philadelphia Eagles were en route to their first Super Bowl win. Philadelphia and the outskirts of the city (Delaware, South Jersey, etc.) were just radiating with optimism and this positivity in the air. Now, we have that again with the Phillies making the World…
