Since 1984, when the curse of William Penn officially began, the top level-professional sports, i.e. MLB, NHL, NBA, NFL, teams of Philadelphia have gone 0-7 in championships in their respective sports. To describe the curse of William Penn, there was an unwritten agreement that no building shall be built higher than the hat on the Statue of William Penn that sits atop City Hall in the city of Brotherly Love.

The Philadelphia Phillies won the World Series in 2008.
