With the Brewers taking on the Phillies in the first round of the National League Championship Series this week in Philadelphia (and then Milwaukee), we thought it was a good time to dust off and update a list we created back in 2001 when the Bucks battled the 76ers in the NBA playoffs.

Enjoy again some good natured-ribbing (because at least two of our staffers are big fans of the City of Brotherly Love) at the expense of our new East Coast rivals.
