Top 10 things on Cole Hamels’ mind after winning the 2008 World Series
A good friend, DA66, although no longer a Philadelphian, though he does have the basics of Philly still in him, sent this email to me. DA66 is a great guy who has at least one really interesting hobby. It’s tied to his employer, so I won’t go into it, but he’s a new dad — for the second time — so I am trying to give him his 15 minutes of fame.
Here are the top 10 things that went through Cole’s mind after winning the World Series. Looking at the list, nothing about being in the parade today, celebrating the Phillies’ win is on the list. The parade, which was supposed to start at noon today (it was about 30 minutes late getting started because the players hadn’t arrived), and go from Philadelphia’s City Hall to Citizens Bank Park, was supposed to last about 90 minutes. In all, it was almost 3½ in length, as the players took sage advice from others who had been in similar situations in the past: enjoy it to the utmost because you may never pass this way again.
