13. "The Broad Street Bellies" (1993 Phillies)
"I ain't an athlete, I'm a ballplayer" was the wisdom of first baseman (and beer-league softball player extraordinaire) John Kruk. And Kruk perfectly personified a throwback team that charmed us with its unkempt image en route to an NL pennant. Of course, it's a play on the "Broad Street Bullies" name that belongs to the Flyers of the 1970s. Philly birthed a nation and, it turns out, some good nicknames, too.

But they still do have some CSN assets. They've played Doc's no-hitter, the Flyers-Bruins 2010 series, game(s) from the 2012 76ers-Bulls series, etc. So these games are mixed in, but far more often they're picking some seemingly-random game from the past few seasons.

Then factor in that Comcast literally owned the 76ers during the Iverson era, but I don't believe they've shown any Iverson games? Admittedly could be wrong there.

Overall it just seems to me that they want to keep the NBCSP branding in front of viewers, even if it means they'd potentially have less of them. Idk.

It does seem to me that it was more because of negligence/thinking no one would want to watch the old games again so they didn't hold onto the files, as opposed to some sort of rights thing.

I'm sorry but I never recall this nickname. Macho Row maybe but I think MLB is grasping at straws here.
