Rain Delay Vindication - Finally

The Phillies had to Win. Karma Demands it. I'm not talking about horrible handling of Game 5 by MLB. The Phillies should have won the World Series last year. At the very least, they deserved to destroy the Colorado Rockies in the playoffs. They didn't. Karma must have been taking a vacation.

Last season, the 2007 MLB season, the Phillies were playing the Rockies in Colorado. A storm sweeps into Denver that forces a rain delay. It happens. But the storm carried some impressive winds. Winds that were strong enough to whip some things around. So if you were carrying a sail - like say a tarp to cover the infield - you might find yourself no longer attached to the Earth.

Watch this video. Watch it again. It'll make you feel happy about sports. Happy about the Phillies having just won the World Series. Happy that these multi-millionaire athletes jumped right out of the dugout to help out the Colorado ground crew. The Colorado ground crew. Where were the Rockies? I don't know. The Karma Gods of Baseball (KGB) should have granted the Phils the World Series last year.

The KGB got it right this year. And they were good enough to remind you why you should love this team. Why you maybe should love baseball. Why the Flyin' Hawaiian shouldn't never be booed. The Fightin's are not even afraid of Mother Nature.
