I was fortunate to attend Game 4 of the 2009 World Series, the Yankees at Phillies on Sunday night, November 1, 2009.
This was the game that Johnny Damon stole two bases on one play!
What a thrill to attend a World Series game! Huge crowds, heavy jackets, layers of clothing, hats and gloves, the throng of media...the true signs of October/November playoff baseball...what a thrill!
You must know that the Phillies and Yankees are my two favorite teams. I grew up a Yankee fan in NE Pennsylvaia, but have lived near Philly for over 35 years. It was a difficult World Series for me, but really, I was coming out a winner either way. I did find myself pulling slightly more for the Phillies during the series but honestly know that the best team won this year's World Series. The Phillies did not play as well as the Yankees during these games...maybe next year?
Thanks to my son for getting tickets and for taking Dad!
