Out with Poppop, kiddie pool, transistor radio, and Mom, Hubby and I in da Kitchen or watching tv. Great wonderful memories of those old days....LOL. PHILLY BE THE BEST, IN PEOPLE, AND SPORTS TEAMS. True Winners, no matter what. Now, get out and vote TRUMP 2020 this next one n do right!!! SLAINTE N GOD BLESS YOU ALL IN AMERICA. TRULY.🕊🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
Cubs fan here. I did like Jack Brickhouse's "hey hey" and Harry Caray's "holy cow" but no announcer proudly made baseball more entertaining than Harry Kalas' "outta here" and of course his historic final out call in the 2008 World Series.
That Matt Stairs pinch hit home run was one of the most electric moments I’ve ever witnessed watching sports. 2008 Phillies playoff baseball was the highlight of my youth.
@MANCHESTER UNITED No it won't. I assume you're basing this presumption on changing demographics courtesy of Mexican and Hispanic immigration? You have to recognize that, first, some of these peoples also love baseball and, second, many more of these immigrants will gradually assimilate to typical American tastes. The typical American view is that soccer is non-masculine if not outright "gay," and corny. Kind of like how many Britishers look down on baseball by comparing it to your "rounders." If you want to talk about changing demographics from Manchester, women's soccer at least will probably be gone outright in the UK in 2040 as all of your women are thrown in burkas and hijabs. By the way, why the hell are you on a highlights page for baseball? Hell, even basketball will most likely always remain more popular than soccer in America.
Pop Films he wasn't as bad as I thought he would be that game. He showed more emotion than I've ever heard from him, at least from a Philly perspective
Can you guys shut up American sports are the best I do like soccer but only mls in conclusion you guys need to stop your yapping about soccer being better than baseball
As a lifetime Phillies fan, the celebrations have been few, but this 2008 Phillies team was absolutely one of THE BEST teams in MLB history…they simply gelled together like few teams ever do. A memory I will never forget.
I was at game 5 of the series, both nights. My junior year of highschool, pops came home, told me to get upstairs and get in the car. Surprised me with those tickets. I was in a stadium surrounded by grown men crying, my dad and I included. Magic.
SmithN' Wesson ....lots of men cried like kids that day, but so the f what....THAT WAS GREAT....AND the celebration after. Best was the, ahem mainstream media salivating foe some fucked up action....which never happened!!! Now that was good. Climbing poles and standing on truck hoods, all they got. Cause in PHILLY, we get along, An oasis in a somewhat troubled world, No Matter what other folks say. Truly, PhillyPA Rocks...always did and always will God bless us all you all, n take care truly. 2020 coming soon. Do the right thing. Trump for POTUS. 🙄😶🕊🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
Greetings to you sir from Philadelphia or thereabouts from Pennsylvania and a Phillies fan from Scooby from near Chicago and a Cubs fan. I saw that game on Fox Sports. Boy was that Joe Buck announcer a pathetic joke! I would've loved to hear Harry Kalas' historic message over the airwaves.
@@PattyBandAidz Blanton never recorded a loss that year once coming over, he was a crucial pickup. Also the Dodgers got to him a bit, but he still had a 2-0 record and 3.18 ERA that Postseason in his three games. Not to mention 5:25, which, in spirit, gives him a 2.65 ERA in the '08 postseason, if you give him back a solo homerun.
Thanks for including that play Chase made at 5:55 because in my humble opinion, it was the play of the Series. Chase Utley...you are the MAN! RIP Harry
Jeroe Bidlow Yes, yes they are. But, I'll remember this team for the rest of my life. My head still hurts from jumping into my living room ceiling when Stairs assfucked Broxton.
yes they were the best of times. I had the thrill of being at both games 3 and 5 of the WS. being at CBP watching them finish off game 5 with my son will be a memory that I will take to my grave. As the celebration began my son said to "Dad what do we do now, the season is over". My reply, 'Jeff, it's only 92 days to Pitchers and catchers" Keep your chin up Philly, we have a young improving team. We'll be back to the days of CBP sellouts.
Len Perrone ...😁🤗😎😉😄🕊🦅Cool....ah, the memories. They will do it again. Not to worry. We may be a bit slower and not able to go bananas, as some of us would do in our youth, but the victory is still as sweet. My 56 yo husband cried as the Eagles took the Superbowl title. Tried to.hide it, but couldnt, LOL. ITS A.GOOD THING for a City or Town. Truly, have faith.....and lots of patience. Danielle. 🤗😁God bless n on to the next Season. Trump 2020!😎🕊🦅.Ya. Oui. Se. YES. later.
Those Phillies teams would fit right in today’s MLB. Home runs, strikeouts, and walks. That was the strategy. No bloopers, bleeders, or cue shots. One through eight, every hitter in their order was a threat to go deep.
Yeah, these team had a really good bullpen as well. Lidge was awesome this season, and Ryan Madson was the best set up man in the league, and could go multiple innings. JC Romero was also pretty solid as well.
These Phillies teams from 07 to 11 were all very very good teams but this 08 year just might be the greatest assembled team in phillies history, you could not pitch to anyone in this lineup top to bottom, and the bullpen pitching that season, all season was almost umhittable, also helped that every starter was going at least 7 deep in every single game
Best Philles team ever in 2008!! Utley,Victorino,Werth,Hamels,Rollins,Howard!! I miss the 2008 roster soo much!! #GoPhillies #GoEagles #GoSixers #GoFlyers #GoTempleU #PhillysFinest
yea, I'm here again after they clinched a wild card last night.... Man, that 2008 team was special.. miss those guys. But glad to see the phils back playing some post season...
Goosebumps rewatching this, took me right back to my childhood watching Lidge throw that pitch, my family losing their minds, running outside with everyone in my neighborhood cheering, getting in their cars, and driving down to Broad St. to celebrate. I will never forget that night.
I am a Phillies fan. Joe Buck is terrible. He had no emotion though with any team until recently (McCarver leaving). He has some emotion now, but is still bad. Not personal to Philadelphia sports, just him.
Watching this brought back great memories. I had just moved to NC after spending several years in Philadelphia. Will always be a lifelong Philly fan. I think there was a rain delay on the final game. I remember falling to my knees screaming with joy much like Lidge did after the final out.
This was one of the first world series that I actually was glued to the TV paying attention to and I'm a Cardinals fan. All I remember is bombs I remember home runs being hit like they were nothing and they went far and high! Lol.
DAMN!! 2008 WAS THE GREATEST MOMENT EVER FOR THIS PHILLIES BALL CLUB. ROLLINS, UTLEY, HOWARD, VICTORINO, BURRELL, FELIZ, HAMELS, BLANTON, RUIZ, LIDGE, ESPECIALLY THE LATE CHARLIE MANUEL. I MISS THIS ROSTER!!!
I'll always remember where I was. What I was doing during that last pitch.... south street Philly. Jumping around in the strees with everyone. Tears. Joy. It bridged all gaps. Color. Religion. Everyone was just..... full of love and celebration that night. Our city NEEDED THAT WIN
Frank Gradia .yes you said it. Those were BOTH sweet and much waited for victories. Long time coming...it will happen again. No doubt. Take care n God bless.
I cried both times. I’d never thought I would see any championships. I was only 4 years old when the 76ers won in 82/83. Until the 2008 Phillies I thought Philly was destined to never win anything. It’s still surreal to this day . Winning is very addictive, once you get that taste, you can’t get enough of it.
Good memories! Makes me think of my late brother, he loved the phillies as much as I, had season tickets....its never the same watching them without him here.
Wonderful memories. I still listen to the calls all these years later, wanting to jump up and down again like it's still 2008. We'll be back in another year or two.
At the time of the World Series I lived on Roosevelt blvd and for the next like 2 days people would just be standing on top of their cars dancing and shit it was great, hopefully it can happen again in a few years
I remember watching a Phillies/ Braves game on TBS in late 2005 and being impressed by their lineup. I knew back then that they these guys were on the verge of having a great run and they did.
Where is Utley's HR in the first inning of Game 1 of the WS? Also, I agree with most comments, total lack of professionalism by Joe Buck on all these calls. That team deserved your respect whether you have an anti-Philly bias or not. Can't understand why he's so respected in the business. (Besides having a legendary father)
MrMdmdmdm .....Lmao.....a vendetta?????!!!!...he is simply monotonous...that is it. Chill dude, or mam....LMAO....OVER JOE BUCK. 😁😀😆😂🤣😄😅NO F IN WORDS FOR THIS, JUST LAUGHS!
Totally agree with you on this. Why wasn't Harry Kalas on the play by play instead? As a Cubs fan who respects the Phillies I'm f***ing stunned. Totally disrespectful to the late great Harry Kalas.
I was 28,I guess we’re even. What a great night. What a great 2 years with Halliday and his no hitter 2 years later. It was the unexpected golden age of Phillies baseball and I miss it. One of the home games for the Series the year after against the Yankees I was across the street at a Pearl Jam show which happened to be the last ever even before tearing the Spectrum down. Eddie kept the crowd up to speed on the score,we lost that game unfortunately. It was Halloween 2009
2008 was freggin MAGICAL, total blast! Here we are again in 2022... :) And a World Series Game 3 in Philly on Halloween....I was at the 08 Parade on Halloween '08 Did I think Phillies would make it this far?? I fully admit, no...did NOT expect this at all. So glad I was wrong. - edit. Forgot about 6:11 , Pat hit that now infamous State Farm sign...same spot as JTs Inside the park HR a week ago.
I got to deliver Phillies Championship clothing for 3 days to Dick's Sporting Goods stores. The first round we met a chartered jet at Phila NE Airport that came with the goods. I watched highlights of the parade, was too busy working. I loved every minute of my job then.
God. That was one fun team to watch. I was blessed to be 15 that year. I think I missed 2 games all playoffs. Always fun to relive some moments going... "I remember exactly where I was watching that at"
The memories of that year and being with your Mom watching that run are priceless. Every team re-builds we'll be back and I bet your Mom will be dancing with Harry K. when we get back on top.
I remember watching Game 1 first inning of the NLDS against the Brewers. Watched Hamels strike out the side, and said this team is destined to do it. Boy did they ever
What a awesome year for the Phil's! 2008 world Champions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I was a kid I Got a autographed bat from Wes Covington and a autographed picture of Bobby Shantz when I became an adult. Played baseball with his son in high school. He had his dads baseball gene's. Go Phils!! 🙂👍 RIP Harry K.
Crazy they won with hamels, myers, blanton, and moyer as their starting big 4 but couldnt win it all when they had the "4 aces"-hamels, oswalt, lee, and the late great roy halladay. Being a philly fan glad they got 1, but should have won at least 1, maybe 2 more during that run from 2007-2012.
ever realized that the 2008 season was Harry Kalas' final oppurtunity to call the Phillies winning the title? Because he died before the end of the 2009 season. It's sad, but really a perfect story if you think of it.
@@nachocheez9690 up until 1980, only the national announcers on tv and radio got to call the World Series. After the Phillies won in 1980, it was the Philly fans that felt it should've been the local radio announcers (at the time, it was Kalas and Ashburn) calling the games on radio. Since then, local radio announcers of the respective teams got to call the World Series. So, next time somebody trashes Philly fans, remind them of this particular fact.
I was a baby sleeping on my dad’s shoulder the moment the winning pitch happened, and he immediately got up, gave me to my mom, went outside and cheered with overwhelming excitement
I really miss the pitchers at bat! the whole strategy behind pinch hitting and also just watching the pitchers surprise themselves in the box added such a cool element to the game.
These guys were my childhood heroes
hi zach
r.i.p. harry you got to make the one call you been waiting on

That Matt Stairs pinch hit home run was one of the most electric moments I’ve ever witnessed watching sports. 2008 Phillies playoff baseball was the highlight of my youth.
Spanked the shit outta that ball 😂
Agreed!!
Without a doubt the best play of the playoff run before the World Series
Lmao, you can hear the disdain in Buck's voice. Calling everything with no excitement. Greatest time in my philly sports life though.
KingBurkey until now

@MANCHESTER UNITED hahahahah, not in this country keep dreaming
Probably the best combo. Utley and Rollins.
Extra base hitting team with the best home run hitter in howard
Such an underrated aspect of that team was our defense. That middle infield combo was vicious.
Very good defense, powerful offense, good bench powerful bullpen. And 3 ace pitchers in hamels,Myers, and Jamie Moyer.
Buck could not have TRIED to be more mad and bored throughout this postseason.
god joe buck hates Philadelphia teams
Joe Buck hates everything!! He ruins every game by pointing out the worst things in each and every team
The guy that announced the NLDS of this year was actually the Brewers commentator and he did a way better job of unbiased announcing than Joe Butt.
Pop Films he wasn't as bad as I thought he would be that game. He showed more emotion than I've ever heard from him, at least from a Philly perspective
Read his book. He gives some insight.
Hey guys! A simple solution....
Put the TV on mute, listen to the radio or music!
Joe buck being disappointed the whole time is gold
Don't get TOO excited Joe Buck...
MANCHESTER UNITED no one else that doesn’t like soccer won’t care
MANCHESTER UNITED literally no asked. baseball is still #1 in America and it always has and always will be
Hahaha
@M I actually agree with you. I don’t like soccer but I could see that happening
Can you guys shut up American sports are the best I do like soccer but only mls in conclusion you guys need to stop your yapping about soccer being better than baseball

The 2008 phills were a spectacular team even Joe Blanton
Joe was an ace. So was Jamie Moyer. They should have started him in 2009. I think it's why they didn't win that WS.
Shane Victorino was so underrated in the 2008 postseason it’s crazy
I’d take Blanton over Velazquez and Pivetta right now.
If you remember, Blanton started that year in Oakland and was a mid season pickup... how huge he ended up being
@@PattyBandAidz Blanton never recorded a loss that year once coming over, he was a crucial pickup. Also the Dodgers got to him a bit, but he still had a 2-0 record and 3.18 ERA that Postseason in his three games.

Hard to believe. Not the same without him.
John Gullo 😢
In 2008 you couldn't even compete against the Phillies defense
Zink now they are worst team in the entire league
Jeroe Bidlow happens to every great team... except the Yankees.
Jeroe Bidlow Yes, yes they are. But, I'll remember this team for the rest of my life. My head still hurts from jumping into my living room ceiling when Stairs assfucked Broxton.
Zink lol
Yet now we are in first place in the division lol
This team was friggn nasty. Watching them play was the greatest time period in my life. I wish i could relive it
Same here I would watch every game

Those Phillies teams would fit right in today’s MLB. Home runs, strikeouts, and walks. That was the strategy. No bloopers, bleeders, or cue shots. One through eight, every hitter in their order was a threat to go deep.

I remember watching this game so vividly, then that last pitch and everybody raised their hand and just started screaming. I fucking loved it!
Teared up. Remember this day like if it was yesterday. Listening to the iconic voice of Harry was an honor. He was Philadelphia. The Fighting Phils!
Best Philles team ever in 2008!! Utley,Victorino,Werth,Hamels,Rollins,Howard!! I miss the 2008 roster soo much!! #GoPhillies #GoEagles #GoSixers #GoFlyers #GoTempleU #PhillysFinest
So many personalities and phenomenal hitters and fielders. Victorino was my favorite player from that era. The Flyin Hawaiian!!
The cool thing about the phillies fans is that we respect the players that once played for us that are on different teams
yea, I'm here again after they clinched a wild card last night.... Man, that 2008 team was special.. miss those guys. But glad to see the phils back playing some post season...
HOW BOUT THEM PHILLIES NOW
Harry Kalas was the best Phillies announcer ever!
RIP Harry we all miss your awesome voice every day!
Richie Ashburn, really.
Andy Musser too
Goosebumps rewatching this, took me right back to my childhood watching Lidge throw that pitch, my family losing their minds, running outside with everyone in my neighborhood cheering, getting in their cars, and driving down to Broad St. to celebrate. I will never forget that night.
"The Legend of Matt Stairs" he single-handedly saved that game for us
Wasnt even the most important HR of the inning though
This is why I hate Joe Buck he has no emotion when it comes to Philadelphia sport teams
Ben Spear I was thinking the same thing. Just compare this to the Cubs games called this year tells you everything.
Now he's showing more emotion but, saying the same thing after every home run. All I remember from the 2017 WS was "baaack at the walllll!!"
I am a Phillies fan.
Joe Buck is terrible.
He had no emotion though with any team until recently (McCarver leaving).
He has some emotion now, but is still bad.
Not personal to Philadelphia sports, just him.
He hates Chicago teams; especially the White Sox and bears too. His voice tone/lack of excitement tells you everything.
I do kinda like how he was silent and let the crowd show how the moment was.
Jimmy Rollins was ridiculous on defense, turning double plays from the ground on his stomach
I watch this when I'm sad. It helps
I seriously don't understand why Buck is not excited these guys were incredible
Cause he hates philly teams
Watching this brought back great memories. I had just moved to NC after spending several years in Philadelphia. Will always be a lifelong Philly fan. I think there was a rain delay on the final game. I remember falling to my knees screaming with joy much like Lidge did after the final out.
I'll never forget that season as long as I live.
Honestly I almost cried 😭😭 I miss these guys we are so bad now
This was one of the first world series that I actually was glued to the TV paying attention to and I'm a Cardinals fan.
All I remember is bombs I remember home runs being hit like they were nothing and they went far and high! Lol.
Every time I see this video all the same emotions from 2008 come back. Go Philiesssss!!!!!
DAMN!! 2008 WAS THE GREATEST MOMENT EVER FOR THIS PHILLIES BALL CLUB. ROLLINS, UTLEY, HOWARD, VICTORINO, BURRELL, FELIZ, HAMELS, BLANTON, RUIZ, LIDGE, ESPECIALLY THE LATE CHARLIE MANUEL. I MISS THIS ROSTER!!!
That was one hell of a team. Really hoping Phillies can replicate it and that we can be contenders these next 5-6 years.
I'll always remember where I was. What I was doing during that last pitch.... south street Philly. Jumping around in the strees with everyone. Tears. Joy. It bridged all gaps. Color. Religion. Everyone was just..... full of love and celebration that night. Our city NEEDED THAT WIN
I was in Northeast Philly on Frankford Ave doing the same!!
Hearing that final call brings a tear every time.
One of the best days of my life watching them clinch. Only the Eagles super bowl was more special for me!!
Frank Gradia .yes you said it. Those were BOTH sweet and much waited for victories. Long time coming...it will happen again. No doubt. Take care n God bless.
I’d say the Phillies was more memorable for me
I cried both times. I’d never thought I would see any championships. I was only 4 years old when the 76ers won in 82/83. Until the 2008 Phillies I thought Philly was destined to never win anything.

Loved Harry man, nobody called a game better then him, the man was legendary, there will never be another Harry! RIP
I’ll never get tired of watching this. What a season ! Bought the WS on iTunes years ago. A bargain at $6.99.
Good memories! Makes me think of my late brother, he loved the phillies as much as I, had season tickets....its never the same watching them without him here.
One of the most exciting teams ever
Wonderful memories. I still listen to the calls all these years later, wanting to jump up and down again like it's still 2008. We'll be back in another year or two.
Here we are
Utley and Rollins chemistry was unreal
Seeing citizens bank park packed makes me sad that it can't sellout now a days
Dante Boss soon young one soon...
Dante Boss Hey bro we are in 1st. We have the wprst batting average since 72 so just imagine when we get a few hitters. We will be back
Bryce will fill a lot of those seats soon. I hope.
@@johngullo9420 Well... still waiting Bryce!!! Take your damn time good lord.
Brandon Bennett times are changing my friend..go Phils
God how I miss that team
Bret Myers slapped those singles like he slapped his wife
Hard
Johnny Bravo LMAO
Man Pat Burrell was a monster during this postseason
Stairssss rips one into the night, deep into right, waaaay outta here. Did he put a charge into that one or what? What a moment.
Buzz Davis it's maybe the one that sticks out most to me. At that moment the Phils seemed invincible.
Buzz Davis Dodgers pitched him terribly. He’s always been a dead red hitter. Don’t get me wrong as a Phillies fan I loved it but durrr.
At the time of the World Series I lived on Roosevelt blvd and for the next like 2 days people would just be standing on top of their cars dancing and shit it was great, hopefully it can happen again in a few years
Eagles winning the super bowl was great, but the 2008 baseball playoffs with the Phillies was my fondest sports experience
2008 was a magical year. Watching these clips gives me the chills, every time.
Thanks for posting this. Brings me back to better times.
I was there for the division win that year. I'll never forget it!! I'll never forget any of these highlights.
I remember watching a Phillies/ Braves game on TBS in late 2005 and being impressed by their lineup. I knew back then that they these guys were on the verge of having a great run and they did.
Thank you so much for creating this incredible highlight reel of the 2008 Phillies Championship Season⚾
It’s 2024 and I still get teary eyed when I hear Harry the K call that last out. R.I.P Harry Kalas, you are the soundtrack to my childhood.
Where is Utley's HR in the first inning of Game 1 of the WS?
Also, I agree with most comments, total lack of professionalism by Joe Buck on all these calls. That team deserved your respect whether you have an anti-Philly bias or not. Can't understand why he's so respected in the business. (Besides having a legendary father)

I got to deliver Phillies Championship clothing for 3 days to Dick's Sporting Goods stores. The first round we met a chartered jet at Phila NE Airport that came with the goods. I watched highlights of the parade, was too busy working. I loved every minute of my job then.
God. That was one fun team to watch. I was blessed to be 15 that year. I think I missed 2 games all playoffs. Always fun to relive some moments going... "I remember exactly where I was watching that at"
Remember this like yesterday. Colorado Beat is the year before. We celebrated as Harry K brought us home 😢
God I really hope to see this again soon.
Hearing Harry Kalas voice made me feel good...rip to the legend
thank you for not putting music over it
This brought tears to my eyes thx for the memories
Nostalgia moment 4 me as a Philadelphia native & this was back be4 my mother passed away. 8 years later philles r rebuilding.
The memories of that year and being with your Mom watching that run are priceless. Every team re-builds we'll be back and I bet your Mom will be dancing with Harry K. when we get back on top.
yup.
Allen Pinckney hell no they're not rebuilding
ralph a sure they totally aren’t 1st place in the division right now
I never get tired of watching this!
What an comeback!
man this still brings tears to my eyes i can't wait until the phigtin phils get back to those winning ways
HERE WE GO LARRY!!!
one of my favorite teams of all time
I remember watching Game 1 first inning of the NLDS against the Brewers. Watched Hamels strike out the side, and said this team is destined to do it. Boy did they ever
What a awesome year for the Phil's! 2008 world Champions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I was a kid I Got a autographed bat from Wes Covington and a autographed picture of Bobby Shantz when I became an adult. Played baseball with his son in high school. He had his dads baseball gene's. Go Phils!! 🙂👍 RIP Harry K.
All those games kept me out the streets at night between 16 and 18 years old I never missed a single game I miss these days 😭😭 lol
5:58 what a great play made my Chase in the biggest game of his career
Good times man, good times...miss these guys, will never be another group like them
James Smith true that
James Smith "World.......Fucking.......Champions!!!!!!" - Chase Utley
Still gives me the chills to this day, good times, that parade was epic!
Crazy they won with hamels, myers, blanton, and moyer as their starting big 4 but couldnt win it all when they had the "4 aces"-hamels, oswalt, lee, and the late great roy halladay. Being a philly fan glad they got 1, but should have won at least 1, maybe 2 more during that run from 2007-2012.
Every one was productive such a fun year to be a Phillies fan…
Remember how much we did not appreciate Pat the Bat before this year? That Stairs and Blanton HR live rent free in my mind.
Go Phillies #1❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for using Harry's call on the 2 final outs
This team was so much fun to watch. Go Phils!
That was a great team. Everyone played a huge role
Pat Burrell was underated
I will NEVER forget this : )
2008 Phillies were such a fun fantastic team to watch!
ever realized that the 2008 season was Harry Kalas' final oppurtunity to call the Phillies winning the title? Because he died before the end of the 2009 season. It's sad, but really a perfect story if you think of it.
JonnyDubs Its great. So glad he was able to witness it
Very beginning of 09 season
@@nachocheez9690 up until 1980, only the national announcers on tv and radio got to call the World Series. After the Phillies won in 1980, it was the Philly fans that felt it should've been the local radio announcers (at the time, it was Kalas and Ashburn) calling the games on radio. Since then, local radio announcers of the respective teams got to call the World Series. So, next time somebody trashes Philly fans, remind them of this particular fact.
I was a baby sleeping on my dad’s shoulder the moment the winning pitch happened, and he immediately got up, gave me to my mom, went outside and cheered with overwhelming excitement
that stairs bomb is the best in philly history
I really miss the pitchers at bat! the whole strategy behind pinch hitting and also just watching the pitchers surprise themselves in the box added such a cool element to the game.
