They went with a pregnant co-worker (a/k/a designated driver) with a van, so it was a "party van"--meaning that (a) they were drinking on the way down and throughout the game, (b) the pregnant lady with the van keys dictated when they left, especially given the stifling heat, and (c) when they left, the Phils had just gone down and they all figured it was over. The pregnant lady with the van keys also chose the music, so no one had any clue the Phils pulled it out until I texted my wife a photo from TV of Pollie just past the bag and Helton starting to stomp his foot down to finally reach the base. She said the van erupted in cheers when she read them the text.<br /><br />Good to hear about the post-card set being updated soon. I may have to buy a second copy of the first edition just to make sure they haven't sneaked in a card of Sanches, Orr or any of the Missing Links guys you mentioned in an earlier post. Last year they added Orr and Herndon sometime after opening day but before the second edition came out--something I discovered by accident only because I bought a second copy at the ALS Carnival to get signed by players for whom I had nothing else.<br /><br />This year I've been asking the newsstand guys whether any cards have been added and they always tell me, "Wait until later in the summer when they'll issue a whole new set." I usually let it drop at that....Steve F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00753488569249068229noreply@blogger.com
