They done did it. And I went out to Broad St to check out the scene about 15 minutes after the game was over. I stayed out until about 1.45a when 10 mounted cops rolled in. I don't fuck around with cops on horses. But first, come celebration photos taken between City Hall and Washington Ave. Needless to say, I didn't mention my NY roots or that up until I stopped watching baseball in 1993, I was a Mets fan.

The early edition.

Probably not old enough to have seen the last Philadelphia championship.

Cars parked on Broad St blaring music, people dancing all around.

The banners on Broad St were all ripped down. This is not one of them, but the photo at top is.

"Number 1!!!!!!!"

Nothing like fireworks on Broad St.

Another early edition.

Fans.

"Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!"

More photos here.
