Phillies win the World Series!

And a new generation of Phillies fans is born. Memories from 1980 harmonizing with these images in my mind. I was in kindergarten then.

Phillies - Going to the WORLD SERIES!

I first became a baseball fan in 1980 when I was living near Philadelphia and watched the Phillies become World Champs against the Royals. I am thrilled to see it (maybe) happening again, as the Phillies beat the Dodgers to top the NLCS and head to the WORLD SERIES. Here is hoping this is only the start of the celebration and the greatness this year!

P.S. Sorry Joe Torre. We would have all enjoyed the irony if you had beat the Yankees to the World Series. But this was the year of the Phanatic!

Congrats to the Red Sox.

Apparently, they swept the Rockies to win the World Series. The Curse of the Bambino is well and truly over.
