My friend Glenn pointed out to me that it has been an exceptional time lately for Pennsylvania sports. In 08 the Phillies became World Series champs, and the Penguins made it to the Stanley Cup finals (although a win was, alas a repeat dream deferred). JoePa and the rest of the Penn State football team got to the Rose Bowl, and the Eagles made it to the NFC championship.
So far in 09 the big PA sports story is the Pittsburgh Steelers. Does anybody remember “one for the thumb in ‘81″? Well, they finally got that one for the thumb, but not till 2006, and this year they achieved the most Super Bowl victories – six – in the world of American football. Nicely done, PA sports!
