The top 10 neighbors for the Philadelphia Phillies spread across a wide band of similarity scores — from 0.96 down to 0.77 — with no single neighbor pulling far ahead of the rest, a pattern consistent with the broad shape classification.
The nearest neighbor is the Philadelphia Flyers at 0.96, followed closely by athlete Zach Ertz at 0.91, Wawa (social) at 0.91, Nick Foles at 0.90, and the Philadelphia Eagles at 0.90. The Philadelphia 76ers come in at 0.82. That's four Sports Teams and two Athletes in the top six positions — a strong same-region, cross-sport cluster. The Phillies' own subcategory (Sports Teams) accounts for three of the top 10 neighbors: the Flyers, the Eagles, and the 76ers. Athletes account for four more: Ertz, Foles, Rita's Italian Ice is the outlier at 0.82 — a Bakeries Desserts and Confectioneries entry — alongside Joel Embiid at 0.81 and Chris Long at 0.78. LeSean McCoy rounds out the ten at 0.77. The non-sports entry, Wawa (social) at 0.91, is the most structurally notable neighbor: a grocery and superstore brand sitting at nearly the same similarity level as the Eagles, suggesting the Phillies' audience shape is defined as much by a regional consumer identity as by sport-specific fandom.
The overall picture is a tightly regional audience — Philadelphia sports franchises, Philadelphia-area athletes, and Philadelphia-area consumer brands — rather than a baseball-specific one.
