The 2007 season was magical for the Philadelphia Phillies. While they were swept by the eventual National League Champion Colorado Rockies, no one other than Jimmy Rollins thought we’d be the team to beat.
Nine years ago today, the Phillies proved they were in-fact the team to beat. Nine years ago, Brett Myers stepped to the mound as the Phillies closer, and threw a 12-6 curveball to Chris Coste to strike out Willy Mo Pena and seal the National League East.
Nine years ago, the words of Harry Kalas still ring through our ears, and we can perfectly recite his call.
