After all the craziness of the final game, which took 50 hours of real time to complete, the Philadelphia Phillies are World Series champions! You really have to be here and be from here to get a sense of how big this is for the city of Philadelphia. With all the big problems in this country and all over the world, it's important to remember that it's still just a game, but we still can allow ourselves a moment to savor the victory.
Alex, Annie, and I will be down at the parade, riding the wave of good feelings along with the rest of the people of Philadelphia. See you there. I'll be the one in the Phillies cap.
