Fireworks roared in my rear view mirror.
Actually there were fireworks all around. The radio was the only sound I could hear. I was heading back from the airport. William and Jen were in for a long weekend from Indy. More fireworks. They had just flown over Citizen Bank Park, close enough to read the scoreboard. They witnessed history. They witnessed Game 5, if only for a few seconds. They saw it like few would, from the air.
The Phillies had just won the 2008 World Series!! I celebrated in the car by honking, cheering, and yelling. I was less than 5 miles from the stadium. William and Jen were telling me how cool it was to see the stadium and all the people then get in the car for the last 3 outs.
This is not the greatest sports story ever. Its a good one, kind of cool to tell some friends about. But nothing close to this story – the greatest sports story ever.
