PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Flyers. Sixers. Phillies. There have been many reasons to cheer for Philadelphia sports teams recently and fans are loving every minute of it.

It wasn't just about being a baseball fan Saturday night when the Phillies dominated the Miami Marlins 20-1, it was about being a Philadelphia fan.

Kaliph Hicks of South Philadelphia said, "I think the wins are going to rub off on all the teams. Starting with the Eagles, and going to go all around, bring more championships home."

Sports teams in the Philadelphia region are taking the nation by storm.
