Okay - I have lived in a World Series town before. . . I was in Atlanta during the 90's. It was a lot of fun. I saw some great baseball and a lot of good clean fun had by fans. I never felt in danger or that the fun would get out of hand. Of course, maybe part of that was they kept losing the World Series, but I digress.
As most of you probably know, Philadelphia is in the World Series. Even though I do not tend to follow sports, I can't help but also know this fact. You can not sneeze in this town without hitting someone or something with a Phillies logo on it. The whole town is seeing red - literally. I honestly think the election could be tomorrow - Mickey Mouse could win and it would compete for headlines in this town.
They have a chance to win the series tonight, and honestly I am a little worried. The fans here do not strike me as the well behaved good clean fun kind of fans. I am afraid something will burn or a car will turn over. Crowds took over the streets when they clenched the NLCS. I am not sure they can handle more. I am hoping to leave the hospital at a decent hour, put my car in the garage and settle into my apartment tonight. Hopefully, all will be well, but I currently couldn't outrun a two year old much less a crazy fan. Therefore, I will watch from my lofty apartment window.
