A Winner

This email included in Rich Hoffman’s column today sums up so much about the Philly fan experience and captures a lot of my own feelings as well. It actually kind of misted me up.

 

"My uncle, who worked for KYW-1060, took me to my first game back in '85 just after my father passed away. I was 7 at the time and still remember the red and yellow seats at the Vet. Little did I know or understand that then and there I'd become a Philly fan. I now reside in Chicago and have put up with massive amounts of crap because of my sometimes painful loyalty to teams that don't pull through. But now that's different. As of last night, with the Phils winning, I now know what it's like to root for and feel like I'm a part of a winner."
