October 31, 2008 – More than
1 million turn out to celebrate Phillies triumph
Michele and I just finished watching a choppy feed of the
Phillies victory parade in Philadelphia this afternoon, and the scene
was just simply incredible. A sea of red 20 or 30 people deep
stretching more than three miles from 20th
& Market, down Broad
St. and into two stadiums in the sports complex. It helped erase the
dreamlike feeling that it hadn't really happened and let the reality of
moment completely sink in. The Philadelphia Phillies are indeed the
best baseball team in the world. No matter how I phrase it (or Chase
Utley f-bombs it), I get a huge smile on my face every time I type those words.
