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.
