NEWARK, N.J. (AP) Thousands of boisterous Yankee fans clogged
Newark's Penn Station as they took trains to the World Series
ticker-tape parade.
The crowd was so heavy that NJ Transit sent staff from its
nearby headquarters to direct passengers.
Sarah Hoolihan says she and her husband Kevin are ''psyched.''
The lifelong Yankee fans say they can go to the parade because
they're both unemployed.
Allen Roxby says he forgot about the parade. The 47-year-old
Union Township resident was headed to New York City for a
replacement passport.
NJ Transit spokesman Dan Stessel estimated the crowd easily in
the thousands.
NJ Transit is adding six trains to its normal service to get
people home after the parade, from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
