So the Tampa Bay Rays are gearing up to play the Philadelphia Phillies in the first of seven games tomorrow night in Florida in the hopes of soon securing a final win at the 2008 World Championships when all is said and done. Not really being a baseball fan myself, the hype surrounding this phase of the games is all too distracting. I mean, everywhere I go in the Tri-State area, its Phillies this and Phillies that. I come into work and that is all people are ordering. Fifteen yards of Philly fleece here and 20 yards there; what are these people doing with all this 100% polyester stuff anyway? At some point I had to ask. Seems many recently secured tickets at unbelievable costs ($1,000 and up) for Game #2 being held right here in the City of Brotherly Love this Saturday. Others are making fun and funky paraphernalia for friends and family members who will be rooting from stadium seats while they sit snuggly at home in front of their screen televisions. From warm throws and fashionable head coverings, to comfy fanny seat cushions and wind resistant hoodies, no fan is planning to be without some form of protection as they root, root, root for their home team all the way to the BIG WIN.
