Without a doubt, any Phillies fan knows exactly where they were when Brad Lidge struck out Eric Hinske and returned the World Series trophy to Philadelphia after 28 years. I was watching at home, on my couch, and all the adults around me who were alive in 1980 to see the first World Series title went ballistic.
It was certainly the high point of Lidge’s career as it was his only time ever winning a World Series. He will tell the story of Game Five on MLB Network Radio’s “My Best Day in Baseball” program, beginning Saturday night at eight o’clock PM E.
