Phillies Celebration 2008

Well, they finally did it. After 28 heartbreaking years, the Phillies won the 2008 World Series of Baseball. Sean and Kate were there to celebrate with 2.5 million of their best friends.
The day started with some tailgating. And a few beers.

Eventually, we made our way inside...




Here - a video of some of the parade action, welcoming Victorino, Rollins, Howard, etc.:





One of my favorite moments - the cool, calm and collected Harry Kalas announces the end of the game and the Phillies' Championship. And in the background: Chris Wheeler goes ape crazy.


After the parade finished and most of the remarks were complete - they raised the World Series Championship banner.



And finally - the ride home.
3 1/2 hours for only 9 miles.
The Thunderbird-surfing idiot here says it all.
