Trophy Madness
The World Series Trophy has been making the rounds in the Philadelphia area for months now; you would think the buzz would have died down a little by now. After stopping by the Concord Mall in Wilmington, DE yesterday, it is clear that
all Phillies fans are still reveling in the glory of a World Championship. The line to see the trophy ran the entire length of the mall. It was a sea of red; parting the Red Sea, was the Phillie Phanatic. The green fur flew as the Phanatic wandered through the crowd, hugging excited children and flirting with the moms. Spring Training is hours away and yet, the party is not over.
I spoke with Phillies radio announcer, Scott Franzke for a little while and we talked about what an exciting time it was for Phillies fans and how we all were looking forward to Spring Training. I also stopped by a sports store in the mall, Speedzone, and picked up this really awesome Phillies World Series jacket:
You can contact Speedzone at speedzone014@aol.com or 302-478-5404 for more information. The jacket I grabbed was the last one in the store, but they said more are on order and you can contact them for a specific size, from small to 6XL. So far, this is the most unique jacket I have seen and I had to get it!
15 hours and counting until Phillies pitchers and catchers report. Are you feeling it? Peace, Love & Baseball,
Jenn

I really want to see that dang trophy! Unfortunately, the only stop anywhere near us was on a weekday at an inopportune time. I haven’t given up yet though!

Jenn,
What a cool jacket!! I’m sure that the trophy will be making an appearance at Spring Training. I was just in DE this past summer because my cousins live there, and they were rooting for the Phils.

Thanks everyone! I think the trophy is going to be at the Harrisburg mall today and after that, it is going to Clearwater for Fan Fest on the 20th. And Happy Valentine’s day everyone! …Jenn
Happy Valentine’s Day to you too, Jenn. Isn’t it amazing how the trophy brings out such pride and excitement no matter how long after the fact?

Living in Wilmington, I am surrounded by Phillies fans but it was good to see them experience the joy and excitement of a World Series championship. With the young talent in place, the team is positioned to contend for years to come. Enjoy! And, Happy Valentine’s Day!
