Bring on the World Series!!!!

I remember that night in 1993 so vividly even though it was so long ago! But I was fortunate enough to be at the game when the Phillies won the game that brought them to the World Series! It was so amazing to be a part of. The crowd was going wild, the fans were all hugging. It was the first time I saw Philadelphia sports fans actually be nice to each other! I was also fortunate enough to attend a World Series game. I still get goosebumps remembering the feeling of walking into the stadium, hearing music from the Natural, and feeling a sense of excitement and anticipation in the crowd. Unfortunately 1993 was not the year for the Phillies...BUT I couldn't be happier that they are going for it again in 2008!!! Again I am fortunate enough to be attending Game 3, the first game of the Series in Philly and I can only imagine what the energy is going to be like. It has been 28 years since this ball club has tasted this sweet victory and I know that will fight to achieve that title this year! Given this love for baseball, you had to know that I would get my hands on Philadelphia Phillies fabric. At first I was searching on the web for it and came up empty with the exception of one listing on ebay. They wanted $12.50 for a fat quarter...WHAT!!!! I found out that they haven't made cotton Phillies fabric since the year 2000. Once I had that knowledge there was only one other source I could go to. My mother...and low and behold in her fabric stash she had about 7 yards of this fabric from the year 2000. If I ever make fun of her massive fabric collection again, please stop me! She was kind enough to spare a 1/2 yard so I made a few headbands with it! I know I will be sporting mine at the game on Saturday! Check out my website if you want to get your hands on one! GO PHILLIES!!!!
