Take yourself back to ten years ago. The Phillies just rattled off two wins at home, a walk-off thriller and 10-2 drubbing, to take a 3-1 lead in the 2008 World Series. The Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Indians hadn’t blown a three-game lead in the championship yet, so you were likely feeling good heading into Game Five on Oct. 27, 2008.
45,940 people crammed into Citizens Bank Park as Cole Hamels took the mound for the decisive game. However, before the game even started, there was already drama occurring in the background.
Rain was in the forecast for the game, leaving up for debate the question of what to do if the game was rained out.
