Phillies fans, you've waited a long time for this. Numerous heartbreaks later and 25 years in the making, the city of Philadelphia can finally celebrate a world championship in one of the four professional sports. On October 29, 2008, Brad Lidge struck out Eric Hinske in the top of the ninth inning to give the Phillies their second ever World Series championship. The city of Philadelphia began to party because, finally, their team had not let them down.

60 75 80 83

Each fan knew these numbers by hand, as if they were a winning lottery number, only instead they were reminders of what was and (seemingly) was never to be again: the last times that the Eagles, Flyers, Phillies, and Sixers had each won a championship, respectively. Only now, 80, much like the fortunes of these long-suffering fans, was reversed, and '08 was destined to be the year Philadelphia fans would remember forever. This website is meant to be a tribute to that special day, one that, unlike most sporting events in Philadelphia, will not live in infamy.
