50 Greatest Phillies Games: 12. The party to benefit Andy Sonnanstine

Until March 27, we’ll be counting down the 50 greatest Phillies games of the last 50 years. This is 50 of 50.

And this is No. 12.

THE DATE: Oct. 26, 2008

THE GAME: Phillies vs. Tampa Bay Rays, Citizens Bank Park, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

THE STAKES: Game 4, World Series

THE GREAT: One look at Rays starter Andy Sonnanstine tossing his opening warm-ups and you knew the Phillies had this.

They HAD this.

Sonnanstine was a wreck – it was obvious the stage was too big for him.
