Bill Price at the Daily News expresses his disbelief over the Phillies’ fans new rally cry, “Ya Gotta Believe”.
Price writes:
“Go on any Phillies message board, look at the banners in their tiny little stadium, find any fan who is somewhat sober (good luck) and you will find the phrase “Ya Gotta Believe.”
“Yes, the late McGraw coined the phrase and was a great Phillie. But any real baseball fan will tell you “Ya Gotta Believe” is a McGraw/Met thing, not a McGraw thing than can be transferred from one franchise to another.”
…that’s like mets fans waving rally monkeys or screaming “fire isiah”, it just doesn’t make sense…
