The Best Of 2010 -Philly Sports.

My belated Top Of 2010 Lists, yea I know I am ubber late, but I can't let this go. So between now and Sunday, I will be counting down my best of 2010. Starting with The Best Of Philly Sports Of 2010. PS: You will not find the 76ers on my list, sorry to disappoint.

1) Flyers come from behind victory (down 3-0 in series, and 3-0 in the game) against the Bruins, in Boston, to advance to Eastern Conference Finals (3rd team ever to ever come back from a 3-0 deficit)




2) Miracle At Meadowlands III - nuff said





3) Flyers advance to the Cup Final for their first time in over a decade (13 years)





4)Cliff Lee returns to Philly, to become the 4th Ace of the Phillies. Lee took less money from the Phillies over the Yankees. They pitching rotation is now dubbed "The Phanastic Phour"







5) Michahel Leighton becomes the first Flyers goalie to record 3 shutouts in the Stanley Cup Playoffs



Now Leighton has done something no other goaltender has done in the history of the Flyers and that's record three shutouts in a single playoff series. Not even Ron Hextall, Pelle Lindbergh, or the great Bernie Parent could accomplish that feat. When he stopped all 17 shots against the Canadiens on Saturday he became just the 13th goalie in NHL history to record three shutouts in a playoff series.

6) Flyers advance to the 2010 SCP with a shootout victory over the Rangers







7) Eagles crush Redskins 59-28 (multiple NFL records accomplished here)





8) Roy Halladay's No-Hitter in the MLB Playoffs




9) Shane Victorino's grand slam helps the Phils rally over (and stomp) to beat big time rivals - NewYork Mets, 11-5. (I witnessed this game)

Shane Victorino's 2 out Grand Slam

10) Vick becomes the starting QB over Kevin Kolb in Week 3 of the Eagles 2010 Season (I considered this shocking although I wanted it to happen)



Eagles coach Andy Reid stunned the Eagles' fan base and captured the nation's attention in September by deciding to stay with Vick as his permanent starting quarterback for the 2010 season after Vick stepped in for the injured Kevin Kolb and did such a spectacular job with the offense in leading the Eagles to a win over Detroit.



11) Roy Halladay signs with the Phillies




12) Philadelphia Union's first home win(s) in their inaugural season (@ The Linc vs DC United 3-2) First Win in their new home stadium (@PPL Park vs Seattle Sounders FC 3-1)
