10 for 10: Top Philly Sports Moments of the Year

There were many memorable Philly sports moments this year and we will get to the list in a second, but one bittersweet moment deserves an honorable mention before we begin -- the demolition of the Spectrum. Since it was more like a two-year goodbye than a single event -- especially since the actual wrecking ball ceremony was so underwhelming -- it really didn’t fit on this list but we wanted to give the old arena some love.

Remember that this list is for the moments not runs or seasons we will all remember. Now on to the Top 10.
