Monday Round-up (Philly-edition)

The Fall Classic is upon us and somewhat fittingly the Phillies play a critical game 5 tonight to win it all. Founded on today in 1682, Philadelphia has brought us some great achievements: the Constitution, the Liberty Bell, one of the first public libraries lending books to members, the cheese steak sandwich, Boyz II Men, and of course the greatest mascot of all time the Philly Fanatic (as seen above).
