Yes, it's true. The Phillies are now one game away from doing what they haven't done in 28 years! In 1980 I was 15 years old and a true Phillies fan. Most of you know I collect autographs but did you know that my first autograph signing was at the age of 12 and it was the catcher for the Phillies, Bob Boone?
I was too young to have celebrated in the proper way and now in 2008 I'm not too old but without enough friends and family who are fans to celebrate in the proper way but I will be proud of my team just the same. Maybe I will get crazy and come in late tomorrow.
Just too sad to think that the ole' tugger is no longer around to see it happen again.. but in game 3 he was there as his son sprinkled some of his ashes on the pitcher's mound. And 80 backwards is 08.. it's got to be our time!
Let's get this done PHILLIES!
About Me
- Papa Monkey
- I was born in a little town in NJ and now I'm living in a small town in PA.. sort of in the country (far enough away from any major highways). I was in a band in the late 80s; we weren't on MTV, we didn't sign a record deal, we played 4 shows, I played the keyboard & some guitar and once got on stage and performed a Village People song with the infamous TRAP DOOR. I've been working in the same printshop for the last 22 years (yes, I live an adventurous life). Now I fill my leisure time by doing activities with my son, my wife, friends, and various family members (in good standing)... the remaining time is spent blogging, reading & talking to the cat. Most adventurous of me are the following: I have been known on occasion leave the house without pants, root for THE EAGLES and THE PHILLIES, eat cold cooked craw daddies, perform karaoke (Timmay does a mean 'mack the knife'), watch every Stephen King movie that comes out (no matter how bad), and if I'm driving and see a squirrel I WILL SPEED UP! They are evil little creatures and are not to be trusted. Remember they love nuts!
