I went to the Yankees victory parade after that Series where they beat the Phillies. It was a stressful, fun, annoying experience. You could barely move and I had to prop myself up between 2 columns to actually see. But it was totally worth it as one of those things you do once in your lifetime.
Also helped that the people next to us were on the phone with people watching at home and clued us in on which float was the last so we knew to start working our way out of the crowd before everyone else started shoving their way out.
I went to the Mets victory parade in 1986. My dad took me to his office and we went to the parade from there. I was in 7th grade and it felt so cool to ditch school to go to the parade. I wore my Lenny Dykstra jersey to school the next day. Little did I know my idol would go broke and end up in jail for grand theft auto.
