The Phillies Win the 2008 World Series!

Last night, after a 28 year wait, my favorite baseball team, my hometown team, the Philadelphia Phillies, won the World Series.

In today’s Philadelphia Inquirer, Phil Sheridan writes:

It felt like a dream, but it wasn’t. You are wide awake and the Phillies really are World Series champions. They beat the weather and the Tampa Bay Rays, 4-3, to earn just the second title in franchise history.

[Phillies Pitcher Jamie Moyer] and a million friends will attend another parade tomorrow. It won’t be in Boston. It won’t be in New York City. It won’t be in Los Angeles or Chicago and it sure as heck won’t be in St. Petersburg, Fla.

It will be right down Broad Street, right under the approving gaze of Mr. William Penn, right through the still-racing heart of Philadelphia.

Times like these really make a kid miss his home.
