Kissing The World Series Trophy
December 14th, 2008 by Matt
Ok, I didn’t kiss the World Series trophy yesterday, but there were several brave folks who did, germs be damned, as I waited in line to get my picture taken on Saturday morning with the Commissioner’s Trophy.
I got down to Citizen’s Bank Park around 10-ish to grab the new flap cap that Jimmy Rollins made famous in the World Series, as well as snagging the “Perfect Season” DVD and the Harry Kalas CD.
After that it was up to the luxury suite level to stand in a line in a windy chill to see the trophy. It probably took an hour from beginning to end, but the wait was worth it.
Citizen’s Bank Park just looks different – having now hosted a successful World Series campaign. The championship flags are all down, and different parts of the grass are covered up from where playoffs logos now need to give way to good old-fashioned green grass.
April can’t come soon enough. Whether a bad glove Burrell or bad glove Ibanez is in left, April will be awesome.

I went down too, mainly to get The Little Phan in a picture with the Phanatic/Phanta Claus and you are right, April can’t come soon enough.
It would have been cool to bring my kids, but I was going to the Flyers game at 1 for the first time in forever, so the logistics weren’t there. It’s a shame, it was a lot of fun. It was the first time I’d been back in the park since Game 1 of the NLDS. It’s amazing how much has happened since then.
