A Phils World Series, Or An Extra 2 Years Of Life? Fans Weigh In

PHILADELPHIA — A popular advertising campaign once asked: what would you do for a Klondike bar?

Now, same question, but about a Phillies World Series victory.

That's essentially what website PromoGuy asked when they surveyed hundreds of baseball fans recently.

The site asked 2,000 fans across the country just how far they'd go, hypothetically, for an October Classic win.

"The results were just as shocking as they were heartwarming," the website said. "One thing’s clear: the love for the team is real."

The results of the survey found that Phillies fans are willing to give up quite a bit for another title.

According to the survey, Phils fans would give up 1.9 years of life for a World Series.

Additionally, they'd give up 2.6 months' worth of pay to bring the Commissioner's Trophy back to Philadelphia.

Despite the fervor Phillies fans have for their team, the 1.9 years of life concession is lower than the average fan's response.

The survey found fans, on average, would give up 2.6 years of their lives for a title. It also found one in five baseball fans would be willing to give up at least a year of their life if it meant seeing their team win the MLB title.

Los Angeles Angels fans would give up the most time, an average of 4.7 years of their lives.

One in three fans would trade at least a month’s pay, with the average fan willing to give up 3.5 months’ salary for a championship win.

Cincinnati Reds fans lead the pack financially. They’d give up 12 months’ salary to see their team win the World Series, more than any other fan base.
