lol, TRhit, we called it a take-over.

I live outside of Philadelphia. The Phillies drew 3.6 million fans this year. Many games were sold out.

When the defending World Champions went to Florida to play the Marlins or Rays, the stadiums were empty. ??? To me, Florida is king of all baseball. The first time I flew in there, I was amazed at what I saw before landing- baseball fields everywhere, as far as I could see. Why do the two Florida MLB teams have such attendance problems?
