Is it possible that anyone actually got any sleep last night? The last few nights for that matter? Wow. What an incredible journey to winning the World Series!
We may be bleary eyed, but this is one happy town. H.A.P.P.Y. This team stuck together, believed, and worked their tails off to give the town a lot to be happy about.
We had such fun during the playoffs watching the games with the boys. Christian in particular was very interested and excited about the games. A couple of his memorable quotes:
"Do the Rangers have God in their hearts? I know the Cardinals do, but I'm not sure about the Rangers."
"Albert Pujols is a GREAT Cardinal. But the first great Cardinal is Stan Musial." (He's learning very well!)
And the happiest "Mommy, I was awake to see the Cardinals win the World Series!" Yep, while he fell asleep mid-way through the game, we made sure he was up to see the last out and the beginning of the celebration.
After staying up late to watch the game, Connor and I were up early this morning. We decided to sneak out and head over to Busch Stadium. Got to keep the party going, right?
We peeked inside the third base gate. Connor was very upset that he wasn't going to see the team play. They're tired I said. I bet they're just now going to bed. Then Connor saw all the trash on the floor. "This place is a mess" he said.
On to the store. Inside, Connor found the local Fox2 reporter doing interviews. He seemed a bit startled when she said hello to him, so he backed up in search of Rally Squirrel.
Found him...and lots of his friends.
There were no Freese jerseys, shirts, or otherwise to be found in the store. That's what I'm looking for...me and everyone else in town! In the meantime, we can thank Rally Squirrel for his contributions to team spirit this season.
There were Pujols shirts aplenty. Please stay in St. Louis!
And Squirrel claws.
Congratulations to the 2011 World Series Champions!!
