Phillies: World Series parade would be canceled due to COVID

If the Philadelphia Phillies are somehow able to go the distance and win their third-ever World Series championship this season, under manager Joe GIrardi, it appears as though celebrations would look significantly different than the sights and sounds down Broad Street, 12 years ago.

Philadelphia officials are expected to announce the cancelation of large public events for six months (through February) on Tuesday due to risks surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, according to KYW Newsradio. This would include the Thanksgiving Day and Mummers parades, the Broad Street Run, and, yes, even potential sports championship parades.
