I was hoping that at least at one point in my life, I would be able to see a Philadelphia parade down Broad Street. I was expecting to be seeing Donovan McNabb or Simon Gagne eventually because the Eagles and Flyers were perennial play off contenders. Who would have thought that after finally making the playoffs for the first time in 14 years in 2007 that the Phillies would win the World Series in 2008, breaking Philadelphia's 25 year championship drought.
So it was Halloween day and it was a beautiful day as well. My brother and I stood on Broad Street and waited for 2 1/2 hours before the Phillies made their way down Broad Street. 15 minutes later, it was all over. But who cares? The Phillies were World F*cking Champions (in the words of Chase Utley) and that was all that matters to us fans.
So here are some pictures from that amazing day in Philly:
Jayson Werth is a multi-million dollar athlete
and he is drinking Milwaukee's Best!!!
Chase Utley and Ryan Howard
(well his body because his girl is blocking his face)
Look at Howard poppin' that collar, knowin' he'll be gettin' paid in 4 months.
The Philly Phanatic standing tall on top of a float.
Pat Burrell waving to the fans.
Too bad we will see him in Rays colors next season.
Thank you Pat!
Me and my brother, Nick, after the parade.
