54
54 was on the mound when the Phillies won the world series. I am 54, born in 54 and my wonderful Grandfather who was an usher at Connie Mack up on Lehigh was 54 the year I was born. He died in March 64. Thank God he didn't see what happened at the end of that season. This means nothing to you, everything to me. Philly Fans. Enjoy!

3. The one thing I did NOT predict was that it would be over in 9...
...I really thought--before the game--that it would be scoreless (well, scoreless since Monday) into the ninth and beyond, both teams focused and keeping it tight...nope, scoring quick, but not much, but enough for Philly.

4. We did it, Bosshog!!!
Interesting about the significance of 54. Guess it's your lucky number from now on! Do you think you'll get more World Series gear other than the pennant? I can't decide which shirt I want and if I should get the hat or not. I really wish the Phillies hadn't put me in this difficult position...NOT! :toast:

My wife might regret this but she said get whatever you want. I may have done a little bit too much toasting last night.
