And let's not forget, there was quite a NEPA flavor to this year's champions, as most of the core of the Phils team played right here for the Red Barons:

Ryan Howard
Chase Utley
Jimmy Rollins
Carlos Ruiz
Shane Victorino
Pat Burrell
Cole Hamels
Brett Myers
Ryan Madson
Clay Condrey
J.A. Happ

I'm not the biggest sports fan (maybe because I grew up 25 miles from Philly), but the last piece of paraphernalia I had was a 1980s World Champions hat. I held onto that thing for a while....

Happy for Philly and for PA -- we needed it!

I remember hearing a lot of those names being announced at the former Lackawanna County Stadium while growing up and attending games. Those were the good 'ole days, heyna or no?

GO PHILS!!!!

I was wondering when you were going to start that thread GoPhillies.

I watched every minute of the playoffs and the series and boy am I tired!

I am thrilled that my Philles came through. What a great team! Someone was there all year to pick up the slack when someone got in a slump. I still have all my SWB Red Barons gear. I used to make sure that I went to as many Red Barons games at Harbor Park here in Norfolk. Lots of the players would come over and say hi as I got seats behind the third base line. I got to talk with Chase and with Ruiz. Larry Christianson signed a ball for my daughter. They were really cool people willing to sign autographs and talk baseball. Kudos to the Phils.

I got a lot of ribbing over the years for being a Phils fan, but I am giving a little love back now.
