Atlantic City Weekly Picks the Phillies!

I'm a little slow in posting this, but noticed at least one writer from the Atlantic City Weekly picked the Phillies to defeat the Yankees in the World Series.  Since visitors to Atlantic City are somewhat evenly divided between New Yorkers and Philadelphians, this seems like as good a measure as any to determine a legitimate favorite between these two strong teams.

Our unofficial prediction is that no team is going to beat the Phillies four times in a series.  Since ESPN only shows Yankees and Red Sox games during the regular season, a lot of people outside of the Delaware Valley have no idea just how talented, resilient, and mentally tough this team is.  They don't have as many big names as the Yankees, but a lot more people will know who they are this team next week.

Toll Refunds for AC Surf Games

Good news for value-conscious folks who want to see minor league baseball in Atlantic City this upcoming summer. According the Philadelphia's KYW Newsradio, the Surf will refund $1.00 to individuals who purchase tickets to games this season to pay their Expressway tolls. Not specified in the article is whether you will be required to produce toll receipts or whether those of us with EZ-Pass will be able to collect this refund.
