I’ve received a lot of hate mail from Phillies fans and I really don’t understand what the big deal is. The magic number is just a number, there is no magical qualities despite what the name may imply. There is no hex or jinx being created by having it grace the pages of Hot Foot. I recently received this email from a reader named “HanginFromTheLidge”

THE MUTZ HAVE YET 2 LOOSE A GAME SINCE U PUT THAT STOOPID THING UP AND LASST NITE THE PHILLES GET EMBERRESED BY THE FISH AN YORE STUPID MUTTS ARE BAC IN FURST PLACE, YOU PEACE OF @#$%& YOU ARE A COMPLETE @#$%&!!!
