Go Phillies!!!

Daniel congratulates the Philadelphia Phillies for making it to the World Series for the first time since 1993!!!


Back in 1993, Daniel's Mom-Mom stood in line at Veterans Stadium for 6 hours to get World Series tickets. She was able to get only two tickets.

Daniel's Mommy went to Game 4 and stayed for all 14 innings in the misty October rain, watching Mitch "Wild Thing" Williams blow a save. The Phillies lost to the Toronto Blue Jays that night, as well as in the Series.


Hopefully, Daniel will someday attend a World Series game himself.

YES, I REMEMBER STANDING IN LINE FOR HOURS FOR TICKETS. NO ONE KNEW HOW TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ME(NO CELL PHONES) AND STARTED TO PANIC. PEOPLE HAD FOLDING CHAIRS AND WOULD SIT, GET UP AND MOVE CHAIRS AND SIT AGAIN. THE LINE WENT ON AND ON. WHAT PARENTS WON'T DO FOR THEIR CHILDREN. I HAVE TO SAY IT WAS WORTH IT THOUGH. HOW EXCITING TAKING THE TRAIN AND SUBWAY AND EVEN SEEING OUR NEIGHBORS AT THE STADIUM. LETS HOPE THE PHILLIES COME THROUGH THIS TIME. NO LINES FOR ME THIS TIME - I WILL BE WATCHING THE GAME ON TV.
