This begins a 12-part monthly retrospect of the world championship 2008 season, whose 10th anniversary is marked this year.
With the entirety of Philadelphia looking to the Eagles to deliver a championship and the franchise’s first Super Bowl victory, it may be easy to forget right now that this year will mark the 10th anniversary of the Phillies’ World Series win over the Rays. Ten years since the Phils ended a 28-year title drought for the city. Ten years since Brad Lidge got Eric Hinske swinging to complete his perfect season. Ten years since Harry Kalas finally got to call the last out of a Phillies championship in what would prove to be his last full season.
