Topps cropped out Tug McGraw's glove on the card that commemorates the Phillies becoming the last original MLB team to win a World Series. They would win a second World Series in 2008; only the Phillies and Cleveland have failed to win three World Series among teams around for all 120 years of the Fall Classic. No expansion team has won a third World Series yet, but several have won two. Two of those teams are in first place right now (Toronto and Houston), but so are the Phillies.
As a baseball fan for practically my entire life, I should probably know the teams that have been around all 120 years... but I don't. Weekend homework? Maybe.
