Phils in 5!
True story: In Oct. 1980, I was a 14 year old high school freshman living in the Philadelphia area. The day before Game 6 (Phils v. Royals), my graphic arts teacher (friends with John Vukovich) tells me he couldn’t use his ticket BEHIND THE BACKSTOP, and offers it to me, FREE!! Of course, my parents being non-indulgent and responsible, would not permit me to go to the game alone, so I didn’t go. The Phils won the 1980 World Series in Game 6 at the Vet.
Now, fast-forward 28 years. I’m a grown man, have my own kids, and I’m fully appreciative of my parents’ concern in 1980. I may have the opportunity (long shot) to go to the game on Monday 10/27!!!
That’s why I NEED the Phils in 5...28 years is a long time, especially for someone who coulda’ been there!!!
If your parents had let you go to the Vet then that should have told you to sleep with one eye open from then on out....
I took my 3 kids to the Series in 93. Curt Schilling pitched, we won 2-0. The most exciting night. The kids ( 2 now grown with babies of their own) still savor that night.
Go Phils. I need this moment.
2-0 now.
