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. 11.
THE DATE: October 13, 2008
THE GAME: Phillies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers, Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, California
THE STAKES: Game 4, National League Championship Series.
THE GREAT: Recollections of great baseball games become, in my mind, more like a series of still frames than a continuous flow of related events. Each moment is discrete and independent of the others, standing alone as one image, one pitch or one swing.
