ahh – the birds are singing.. the sun is shining.. the thunder’s booming.. the flowers are popping up.. spring is in the air, and that means one thing.. time to start hearing “play ball” yet again. I know for me it’s been a long off-season, and I thought I’d take a look back at when we last saw our boys… parade day, ’08 — how sweet it was!!!

there was this crazy guy on stilts that was walking broad st before the parade began … getting everyone wound up

but he wasn’t the only funny one. There was the freaky clown man…
and the cooky cow guy
pat the bat leading everything off … “thanks, pat – sorry to see you go”


the number one mascot in professional sports. period.

Johnny Law keeping the peace…


…they had these ticker-tape cannons on the backs of the rigs, but I think it would’ve been better coming from the buildings like the old days…

Jamie Moyer

Ryan Howard … Chase Utley




Jason Werth





Everybody chose their own vantage point to watch the festivities


I’ll go out by once again giving props to my primo second shooter – my wife – who caught a lot of these shots while perched atop my shoulders!!
thanks for joining me, Ker… you’re the best
