I apologize unreservedly to all of my readers in Philadelphia for failing to pay tribute to the impressive and dramatic performance of your Phillies in defeating the Tampa Bay Rays to win this year’s World Series 4-1 in the best-of-seven series.
I am especially mindful that my oversight is compounded by the fact that, for months now, I’ve been urging all of you in that “swing state” of Pennsylvania to help bring about historic change in America by voting for Barack Obama to become the next president of the United States.
Therefore, as I pay this cheerful, even if belated, tribute to the Phillies, forgive me for taking this opportunity to reiterate my plea for all of you to vote, and vote early!
Of course, it would be remiss of me not to make honorable mention of the Rays for nearly pulling off the most remarkable turnaround in baseball history by coming from last place in the major leagues last year to playing for the World Series title this year.
Therefore, since I’ve been urging all of you in that swing state of Florida to vote for Obama as well, I commend the Rays and reiterate my plea for all of you to vote, and vote early too.
Congratulations Phillies!!!
