Until March 27, we’ll be counting down the 50 greatest Phillies games of the last 50 years. This is 50 of 50.
And this is No. 14.
THE DATE: Oct. 28, 2009
THE GAME: Phillies vs. New York Yankees, Yankee Stadium II, Bronx, New York
THE STAKES: Game 1, World Series
THE GREAT: The Phils had to travel for games one and two of the 2009 World Series, similar to ‘08. The only difference? This time, they were playing under the bright lights in New York against an offensive juggernaut Yankees squad.
