On to the Series
Philadelphia Philles: 2008 National League Champions. It’s a beautiful thing. As I watched the fairly easy Game 5 win, I was obviously excited, but I wasn’t completely appreciating the magnitude of this Phillie team’s accomplishment until my man Joe Buck started recounting … Continue reading
