2008 was a great year to be a Phillies fan...I've waited 15 years for a chance to go to the World Series again, and I got to be there for Game Five, Part Deux and see Pat Burrell get the key hit to give the Phillies their second World Series championship!
Thank you Pat Burrell:I'm sorry that Pat Burrell probably won't be back in a Phillies uniform...As of this writing, early in 2009, the word is that he's going to be signed by the Tampa Bay Rays...As someone who believes Pat the Bat carried the Phillies on his back in April, May and June of 2008 when Rollins was hurting and others (except Chase Utley) were slumping, I wish him success!
Until the rest of the country's sports media give the Phillies some credit, I'll see you in the stands!
