What a great series!
My hubby, a diehard Braves fan, rooted for your team like they were HIS team!
Why? Even though the D-Backs eliminated his beloved Braves, HE HATES THE YANKEES! LOL and was pulling for your team the whole way through the Series!!! just to take that smirk off Jeter's face......for one thing.
The flyover of the Stealth bomber and the bombs bursting in air during the National Anthem just gave me goosebumps. The hit by Gonzalez in the 9th and the resulting euphoria brought me to tears!
This is what America is really all about.
We take our frustrations out on each other (mostly) AT BALLPARKS instead of with bombs!
Again, what a great Series! Thanks, D-backs and Yankees - America needed that!
Same thing happened here in Nashville in 1999 when the Tennessee Titans pulled off the "Music City Miracle" and beat Buffalo in a game everyone had written off. The stadium holds about 69,000 but talking to people here in Nashville, it must hold closer to 1,000,000. Seems every single resident of Nashville was there that day!
Fitting 1 million in a 69K capacity stadium... talk about a miracle!
Joe Garagiola, Sr was interviewed by the local stations after the game (his son is D-backs Management) and he said its gonna be great listening to the media call the D-backs a group of seasoned veterans now, instead of just a bunch of "old guys!" LOL!!
