The Taney Dragons’ Magical Ride Comes to an End

Philadelphia’s Taney Dragons were entertaining to the very end. They came up just short in their elimination game Thursday night, losing 6-5 to Chicago with the tying run on third base.

We’ll have more on this in the morning, but right now, I think the AP’s Kathy Matheson is saying what we’re all feeling:

Can we still give @taneybaseball a parade? So proud they represented Philly! #LLWS

And now there’s a petition to encourage Mayor Nutter to throw a parade for the team that captured the city’s heart.

We will recognize the great accomplishments of the Taney Dragons, we have to work out arrangements with the team and their parents. Go Taney
