October 25, 200619 yr This was the scene... And tomorrow, (Oct. 26) will be the nine year anniversary of the '97 series. Amazing!
October 25, 200619 yr Author One of the happiest days of my life. Same here, we all jumped on the back of my friend's pickup and headed to 49th st. to celebrate. I was yelling and screaming until my throat hurt.
October 25, 200619 yr How time flies. My friends and I went to the Official Watch Party at Shula's for the final game of WS03. When Beckett tagged Posada, the whole place went bonkers. I must've hugged at least a dozen complete strangers that night... LOL. Good times.
October 25, 200619 yr wow. I remember right where I was standing, when Beckett made the final tag. And I jumped right on my dad (kind of like a two-man dog pile). I can't wait until we're in the series again.
October 25, 200619 yr I was at Game 4 of the series, and when Alex won the game with the homer it was mass pandemonium. I didn't leave the parking lot until about 4 am. It was amazing. (although I think my favorite celebration, personally, was when the heat won it all last year. We had like 40 people at my house and when the final buzzer rang, everyone basically made a huge dogpile. It was awesome. And yes, alcohol was involved, which explains it)
October 25, 200619 yr I remember all of the celebrating at home, then turning on the TV to see all of the bandwagon hispanic fans in Hialeah banging pots and pans.

October 25, 200619 yr I remember all of the celebrating at home, then turning on the TV to see all of the bandwagon hispanic fans in Hialeah banging pots and pans. Haha. Maybe not the correct thing to say but you got a chuckle out of me.
October 26, 200619 yr I remember all of the celebrating at home, then turning on the TV to see all of the bandwagon hispanic fans in Hialeah banging pots and pans. Why the ragging on hispanics? You don't think there are any white folk that are bandwagoners? Damn dude...
October 26, 200619 yr Ah, good times. Great memories! I've talked to so many people who didn't even care about the Marlins but decided to "celebrate" that night.
October 26, 200619 yr I've talked to so many people who didn't even care about the Marlins but decided to "celebrate" that night. Same here. I have a friend who's actually a Cubs fan "of sorts". He was with me that night, and he celebrated along with us.
October 26, 200619 yr It was an amazing day. My sister got married that day and a good amount of the guests came to our house for the afterparty. I can't say I've ever enjoyed a WS game more, and don't laugh but I was so young that at times I had to go to bed before the '97 WS games were over so it was more special that time. My dad has been a Cubs fan all his life, and while he was happy for the Marlins it made the title feel slightly tainted knowing that there were so many people like my dad who love the Cubs so much, even I love the Cubs but after my marlins of course.
October 26, 200619 yr Ah, good times. Great memories! I've talked to so many people who didn't even care about the Marlins but decided to "celebrate" that night. would you all prefer that it was just the 10-20,000 stadium regulars? Having more people care and/or take an interest under any circumstances is a good thing. Seriously, even if you're not diehard into a particular sport, there's nothing wrong with being proud that your (home)town's team won a championship. I mean look at the Olympics - only once every 4 years do much of any Americans care about gymnastics, track, swimming, etc., and that's only because/if we have strong competitors out there.
October 26, 200619 yr I agree with the Tee ball guy... I only get into the Heat and Panthers when they're winning. I don't pretend to be a die hard fan, but I start watching games and gain more of an interest. I'm a die hard Marlins fan and I have no problem with the bandwagoners. It fills the seats and raises interest in the team. A lot of the bandwagoners end up being true loyal fans when they see how much fun it can be.
October 26, 200619 yr Ah, good times. Great memories! I've talked to so many people who didn't even care about the Marlins but decided to "celebrate" that night. Yeah, let's keep it "real" and watch them have to trade Cabrera and Willis.

You got a problem with hispanic fans? If so, you're more than welcome to say it to my face so i can do you the honor of caving yours in.
October 26, 200619 yr Rember it like it was yesterday....what a great feeling ! :thumbup Thanks for the reminder
