The Gritty Largesse Recommends South Philly

Had the pleasure of attending Game 3 of the World Series in Philadelphia.  Also had the pleasure of single-handedly altering the outcome of the Series by simply being present with my Jeter shirt on, albeit under several other layers.  Game 3 was rather rainy and cold as you might remember, and it also represented the kickoff of a very intense sporting weekend in Philly (Yanks-Phils on Saturday night, Giants-Eagles Sunday, Yanks-Phils on Sunday night, throw in a Pearl Jam concert and a Flyers game on Saturday and you’ve got yourself quite the 48-hour clusterfuck.)  Given the insanity that was engulfing the entire Sports Complex in South Philly, I decided to get to Game 3 about five hours before the first pitch, find parking, and simply enjoy my surroundings.  I decided to live-blog it.  Below is an account of my time spent roaming the streets of South Philly from 3pm until 8:15pm on Saturday, October 31 – fucking Halloween no less.
