The celebration continues tomorrow with a victory parade downtown starting at noon. It will begin at 20th and Market Streets and travel south down Broad Street ending at the sports complex. This will be pitcher Jamie Moyer's second victory parade in Philly. He was a high school student in Souderton when the Phils won in 1980.
