Massive Photos: The Crew Return Home

The 2008 Columbus Crew returned home from MLS Cup, with the MLS Cup, and a bunch of bags under their eyes, only to meet a gaggle of supporters, news media, and other random people with extremely nice cameras. As one of those latter groups, I took it upon myself to snap some shots, here's what I got:

It was a very "special" win for this guy...

Some of the Supporters on hand.

And a few more.

Mayor Michael Coleman helped Crew Assistant(?) Coach Robert Warzycha bring the Phil F. Anschutz trophy home to Columbus. No word on if Mayor Coleman's wife was able to get her wish of filling the entire thing with Margarita Mix.

Bob Rifle explains to the Mayor why he feels gun control is a bad idea.

The Polish Rifle talks to the local journos. Is this a sign of things to come?

And on that day, the Lord Jesus Christ, the God of Heaven and Earth, descended upon the earth and decreed that his f...oh wait, it's Frankie Hejduk.

Parting shot. I bought 15 of these by the way...
