Finally the Phillies won

It took 28 years for Philadelphia Phillies to be champions again. Pedro Feliz brought happiness to his team after he singled home in the seventh inning for a victory of 4-3 against Tampa Bay Rays.
“It was a crazy way to win it with a suspended game but we did and it’s over and we’re very excited,” 45-year-old Phillies pitcher Jamie Moyer said. “It has been a long wait, but it’s worth it.”
In a cold winter day Phillies fans returned to Citizens Bank Park to see the city claim what they were looking for more than 20 years now, the World Series Championship title.
“Bundled in parkas and blankets the fans could taste it just as much as we could” said series MVP Cole Hamels.
This game will for sure feature as one of the wackiest ending in history; instead of the traditional best of seven series it turned to be a best of three and half showdown thanks to the bottom of the sixth inning.
“It’s over. It’s over, man.” Said Jimmy Rollins
“I always thought we’d win the World Series. I knew we could beat anyone in the league,” Manuel said.
Mike Schmidt, Phillies MVP said that this title unites a town behind one team and that people enjoy being associated with winning.
“Getting the World Series Championship title is just the icing on the cake for this city and its fans”
Even thou Tampa Bay lost their chance it was not all harmful for them, since last decade the Rays didn’t had a good season like the current one, and they should feel proud for that.
