Welcome

Philadelphia sports fans have stayed loyal to their teams despite annual heartbreak.

That's passion.

And we at the Phanatic want to exude that same passion to our readers. In the coming months, a monthly magazine targeted to YOU the Philadelphia area sports fan will be hitting the market.

Inside, you'll find opinion pieces, in-depth features and a critical look at sports' major headlines. You also will find encompassing coverage of every major sport.

The Masters? We will walk you through the hallowed grounds of Augusta National, focus on key players and dissect the course and field.

Baseball Opening Day? We will lead you up to the beginning of the baseball season with breakdowns, predictions and comprehensive analysis.

But what sets us apart from the major national sports magazines?

Not only will we keep you up to speed on the major Philadelphia sports teams. Not only will we preview March Madness, the World Series, and horse racing's Triple Crown.We will be where your son plays baseball. We will be inside your high school gymnasiums or at a football game under the Friday night lights.

We will cover it all, from the very top to the starting block. And we are also online, bringing YOU excerpts from articles you can read in print, but also displaying a daily blog of editorials about current events happening throughout the sports world.

We thank you in advance for your readership, but we would expect no less from a Philadelphia sports fan. May we exude that same passion to you through our sport-to-sport coverage.

John McMullen, Steve Lienert, Tim McManus, Jared Trexler
