It has been quite a long time since these eyes have seen anything as beautiful as the Phillies parade today. What a sight along the parade route. It was fitting for Pat to lead the charge since he's been with the team the longest. The rest of the parade provided a look into the eyes of the team. A team that played like champions throughout the ups and downs. I sure felt proud today to be a Philadelphian.
I was also fortunate enough to have tickets to CBP and hustled it down there in record time. It was then that it all hit me on how fortunate we all are to have such a team. Granted, over the years, some moves have been made that didn't work out but this team truly loves the fans. Having sat and listened to Charlie, Chase and the rest of the guys, you could tell they did it for all of us. Though Chase used a little profanity, to the joy of the crowd, it was the exclamation point on this year 'cause hell yeah we are the World 'fu*king' Champions. Damn straight and let no one forget it!
I'm now going to enjoy this day for another day or two and I'll then be in full Flyers mode as, hey, guess what? They won 4 straight after dropping the first few games in tough fashion.
Another championship anyone?
