Athletes, each present and former, and political dignitaries prolonged their congratulations to the D-backs on their first journey to the World Series since 2001.
But it wasn’t simply in regards to the baseball group in Arizona.
Beyond that, America had cause to have a good time. One of the nation’s nice hot-take artists, Chris “Mad Dog” Russo, had stated earlier than Game 6 that he would retire from his job as radio and TV opinionator if the Diamondbacks received two back-to-back video games in Philadelphia.
They did.
Now, will he?
The D-backs themselves had heard of his proclamation and expectation they might not succeed.
They celebrated accordingly within the locker room, chanting “Mad Dog!” Fans on-line cheered with them.

D-backs supervisor Torey Lovullo is conscious that Chris ‘Mad Dog’ Russo stated he’ll retire if the Diamondbacks beat the Phillies in Game 7, and says, ‘I’m wanting ahead to that.’

Diamondbacks simply saved the economic system AND retired Mad Dog Russo in the identical day.
A very historic second for America

Who would’ve ever thought the Diamondbacks could be those to show Mad Dog right into a snowbird Florida Man
