Phillies fans have second worst grammar in MLB

Here’s another reason for Phillies fans to get dejected.

Here's another reason for Phillies fans to get dejected.

Back in April, The Wall Street Journal recruited an automated-proofreading company, Grammarly, to evaluate NFL fan bases on their grammar, spelling and punctuation. Eagles fans fared rather well in the NFL evaluation.

Birds fans were found to have the third best grammar in the league.

Now, the Wall Street Journal has given MLB fan bases the same treatment.

Unfortunately, Phillies fans were found to have the second worst grammar in all of Major League Baseball.

From The Wall Street Journal:

The second-most mistake-prone fan base belonged to the Mets' NL East rival Philadelphia Phillies. These results should come as no surprise to anyone who has sat in the upper deck of a late-night Mets-Phillies game. Typically, by the seventh inning of these games, the rival fan groups have forgone the English language to grunt and throw peanuts at each other.

Two things Phils fans can take solace in: This evaluation is purely entertainment and the Mets are still the worst.
