The Philadelphia Phillies have won the world series, giving the City of Philadelphia it’s first major sports championship in like forever. I could just feel it that they were going to win. I’m not all that into baseball, but it is a historic moment, so I have been tuning into the World Series. Sure, call me a band wagon jumper if you like, but I like to be a witness to history.

I tried to get my daughter up in time to see the end, when it was all but inevitable. I was yelling to wake up. The Phillies are going to win the World Series on this next pitch. Come see this! But she must have been really over tired, and just barely even responded.

It will be interesting to see if the City of Philadelphia behaves itself in the post victory celebration. I sure hope so. I would hate to see the great accomplishment of the Phillies franchise blemished by the poor behavior of the citizens of this city.

The game resumed at 2-2 and the Phillies took a 3-2 lead early on in the resumed game. Then teh Tampa team tied it back up. Phillies went up again 4-3 and you could just feel that the momentum had shifted. The crowd was electric. I always love to see teams win championships on their home turf, even when it’s a sport that is not of great interest to me, because there is just something amazing about the atmosphere. I can’t explain it really, but you can actually feel it, almost as if something has changed on a molecular level. It’s simply extraordinary sensation to see so many people in such a state of ecstasy.

Congratulations to the Philadelphia Phillies on their remarkable season. They have truly earned a slot in history that very few achieve. It’s the America that I love. The one that celebrates greatness and achievement. I am happy that the City of Philadelphia gets it’s chance to celebrate greatness.
