2008 World Series Champions!

I remember like yesterday when Tug McGraw threw up his hands after striking out the last Royals batter to win the Phillies their first championship in 1980. And like that special moment I will always remember Brad Lidge falling to his knees, arms raised, getting embraced by first Carlos Ruiz and then piled on by the whole team. The Phillies have broken my heart too many times over the years, and over this season, but it sure was worth every moment.

God, I love baseball.
