Thanks to the 2009 Phillies

Found November 05, 2009 on Macho Row:
TEAMS: Philadelphia Phillies

I'll be posting more later, but for this morning I just wanted to throw up a simple post to allow fans a chance to share their gratitude to the 2009 National League champion Philadelphia Phillies. The ultimate goal may have been just out of reach this year but there were many reasons to be proud of this team.

Feel free to share your favorite memories from the 2009 season and share your congratulations to the team below.

There will be plenty of recollecting next week as Macho Row prepares for an interesting off-season.
