World Series

As most know I am a dihard Yankees fan. I have been to the stadium grew up in the shadow of the trade centers (okay you had to climb up to the top of the hill of my street to see the city) but still you could see it. What most do not realize is I was born in Philli and my family is all from Philly. So tonight as the Philadelphia Phillies entered the 9th inning of the world series I did what every good sport loving granddaughter does. I picked up the phone and watched the game with my 90 year diehard philly Fan Grandfather. As the team began the inning I chatted away. Checking to see if my Dad-Dad was on the other end (my phone tends to drop calls in my house) at one time he said Yeah just listening to you :) He would call the game. Oh there is a strike two outs. And at the end of the game as his beloved Phillies won the game. He said okay now that over going to bed :) But I will always remember watching the game with my Dad-dad as the Phillies became the world series champs for 2008. BTW I continued to call my sister, mom and Dad because we are all adopted Philly fans. (I think mom and dad have been closet ones for years since they still have the accent from growing up in Philly)
