Phillies Blogathon: Hour 12
The NL top seed has not fared well lately.
We don't want to ruin your breakfast, but ...
The National League's top-seeded team has not advanced to the World Series since 2004.
And ... no NL No. 1 has won the World Series since 1995.
Noteworthy: Six different teams had been the NL's No. 1 over the previous six seasons (2004-10) ... In the 11 years covering 2000-10, nine different teams could boast the NL's best record. That's more than half of the league's 16 teams.
