This past week we learned that our very own Philadelphia Phillies would be in the World Series, but the question of their competition was still up in the air. Finally on Monday evening, it was learned by the public that none other than the non-sensical, New York Yankees would be in the playoffs with our Phils.
As time has gone by, I have progressively become more comfortable approaching people in Hunting Park. The scared, timid qualities of this journalist had slowly meted away and in replace of them, I have gained a new confidence while on the streets gathering information. These new characteristics are what have helped me develop connections with the individuals in this part of the city. Ricardo Velazquez, 22, said, "I can't wait. I was out last Wednesday to celebrate the Phillies advancing to the World Series, that was huge. And last year when the Phillies won, I rushed Broad Street. It is such a huge accomplishment and it really brings new life into the city. I think everyone in the city, whether they are a fan or not, will be on their side."
Ricardo also admitted that even though he does own several New York Yankees hats, "They are not my favorite. I think that they are just a highly respected team who has developed quite a reputation. I have a lot of respect for them, but the Phillies are the team that I will cheering for."
