...and to all Phillies Phans who could not witness this in the first life -- this is for you. It is for all of us.

You are with us in this moment, and you will be with us as the Phillies fulfill their destiny. Your families are as jubilant as you are yourselves -- they know what this means to you and at this moment they celebrate with you as well.

May whatever deity you believe in continue to be with you.
