With baseball articles thin to come by these days, here's another feather you can stick in your cap Philly.  According to a list recently put out by Forbes Magazine, Philly ranked the 5th MOST Toxic City in the United States, only to be out-toxified by Atlanta, Detroit, Chicago & Houston.

Here's How they came up with their data:

"We counted the number of facilities that reported releasing toxins into the environment, the total pounds of certain toxic chemicals released into the air, water and earth, the days per year that air pollution was above healthy levels, and the total number of Superfund sites--contaminated areas that the federal government has designated for cleanup efforts--in each metro area's principal city."

So breath deep, Philly and savor the free & fresh filthy air.  Then tip back a crisp & clean toxic beverage to celebrate your achievement...on me.

Oh where does New York City rank you ask?  9th cleanest.
