Phillies Have Reminded Us How Lucky We Were in 2008

During the Phillies game against the Giants Friday night, I was half watching the game, and half surfing on my phone. With the Phillies ahead 2-1 in the top of the fifth inning, I muted the game and turned on Game 5 of the 2008 World Series.

I was only in middle school when they won, but I could remember every moment. Each hit, out, and pitch is engrained in my memory. I found the entire taping of Game 5 and the first thing you heard were 45,000 roaring fans. I skipped to the top of the sixth inning and watched the Rays tie the game right before the tarp came onto the field and we had to wait 46 hours for the bottom of the sixth inning.
