Our Phillies Won


Well, I'm not a sports fanatic, but watching our baseball team win last night was pretty exciting.  I remember when the Phillies won their first World Series, in 1980, the year I graduated Nursing School, that was exciting.  I remember we didn't have High Definition TV and my brother and I would listen intently to the radio of the games that weren't on TV.  I remember everyone skipping school to go to the parade; but studious, old me, stayed at home and watched the celebration my the comforts of my family room.

Who knew it would take them 28 years to win again, but I must say this city needed a winning team and for once on the nightly news, something good was broadcasted...except for the total mayhem the crazy fans caused in the streets.  

Tomorrow is the big parade.  Once again, I'll be happy to watch from home.  

CONGRATULATIONS PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES ON WINNING THE WORLD SERIES!
