Opening Day in Philadelphia doesn’t have the same ring as it once did, but you can expect The Bank to be packed with Phillies fans as they face off against the Nationals

Once of the Phillies toughest rivals enters the City of Brotherly Love with no love lost between the two teams. Washington has long been a favorite to compete for a World Series, but has failed year in and year out to get the job done.
