Zambia Congratulates the Phillies on Winning the World Series

People all over Zambia and other poor African countries have received their 2009 shipment of Philadelphia Phillies World Championship merchandise. Hundreds of championship merchandise were produced for both teams in the World Series, with the losing team's merchandise donated to third world countries. The King of Zambia has congratulated the Phillies on winning the World Series for the first time since they defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in the early 1990s. In Zambia, the 2009 Phillies have joined other great championship teams such as the 2007 New England Patriots, the 2000 New York Mets, and the Buffalo Bills dynasty of the early 1990s.

Zambians can be seen wearing Philadelphia Phillies hats, t-shirts and even sweatshirts in many local communities. Weather in Zambia is expected to fall below 95 degrees fahrenheit this week so the Phillies title came just in time.

Zambians are eagerly looking forward to the Superbowl in January. However, as hardcore as they are about sports and specifically football, they don't fully understand the rules. They believe that similarly to golf, the team that has the lowest score wins. Last year, they celebrated the Arizona Cardinals scoring less than the Steelers and they can't wait to see who scores less in the Superbowl this year.
