Congratulations Phillies! Back-to-back champs.
Or is that "chumps"?

http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/2009/11/02/2009-11-02_philadelphia_inquirer_runs_ad_phillies.html

A Philadelphia newspaper Monday ran an advertisement by Macy's applauding the Phillies for a phantom World Series victory and promoting a 2009 championship T-shirt.

In the ad world equivalent of the "Dewey Defeats Truman" headline, the bungled banner in The Philadelphia Inquirer said "Congratulations Phillies! Back-to-back Champs."

Underneath, a shirt celebrating the Phils as the 2009 World Series winners is on display.

Of course, that piece of clothing is unlikely to ever see the light of day as the Yankees are poised to bury the Phillies after taking a commanding three-to-one series lead Sunday night.

4. Not quite yet, but we will be back in NY soon for game 6 and 7.
That ad may just become a real collectable.
This Series has seen a lot of records broken and will be a standout.
