Every year, Brad Lidge makes it a point to acknowledge Oct. 29. He relives the memories. Lidge and his bullpen buddies send text messages in their group chat.
There’s always something to commemorate that special date, the day Lidge closed out Game 5 of the 2008 World Series to give the Phillies their second championship in franchise history.
This year, 16 years later, Lidge celebrated the anniversary a bit differently. He made his way back to the Philadelphia area to launch a new baseball card set featuring his likeness, partnering with artist Jordan Spector for the “Lights Out” series.
