The Phillies' 2008 World Series: Ending a 25-Year Drought

In 2008, the Philadelphia Phillies won their second World Series title, ending a 28-year championship drought for the franchise and a 25-year drought across all four major Philly sports teams. The clinching Game 5 against the Tampa Bay Rays was the only World Series game in history suspended by rain — it began on October 27 and was finished two days later. Brad Lidge struck out Eric Hinske for the final out and dropped to his knees on the mound.
