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. 33.
THE DATE: Oct. 15, 2008
THE GAME: Phillies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers, Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, California
THE STAKES: Game 5, National League Championship Series
THE GREAT: Only once in my life had the Phillies won the pennant.
That was, of course, in 1993. I sang Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock’s “It Takes Two” as Bill Pecota stepped to the plate.
