28 years.  

15 years.  

When you’re a Philadelphia sports fan, you measure things in years.  

As a Phillie fan, I know that it’s been 28 years since the Phillies won the world series, 25 years since a major championship (sorry Jon Bon Jovi, the Arena Bowl championship doesn’t quite cut it), and 15 years since the Phillies were last in the World Series.  

On Wednesday, when evening temps were closer to 40 degrees than 50 degrees, and a light drizzle was enveloping the City of Brotherly Love, Brad “Light’s Out” Lidge did for the 48th consecutive time what he’s been doing all season: Saving a win for the Philadelphia Phillies.  

But this one was different. This one opened the floodgates of Phandemonium. This one exorcised demons that had long strangled the Philadelphia sports fan.  

I was 10 in 1980, when a heart-tapping, glove thumping screwball pitcher named Tug McGraw last put the Philadelphia baseball fan into a state of delirium. With a tired arm, he willed a fastball past Willie Wilson of the Kansas City Royals and the Phillies celebrated a World Championship. Now, 28 years later, I was able to see Brad “Light’s Out” Lidge stride from the bullpen into one of the strangest, yet most interesting, World Series games in recent memory.  

A few days earlier, while throwing out the ceremonial first pitch, Tug’s son, country singing star Tim, spread a handful of his dad’s ashes (Tug passed in 2004, succumbing to cancer) on the mound at Citizens’ Bank Park in Philadelphia. It had to help because the Phillies could always use any help they can get.  

They aren’t the mighty Yankees. They aren’t the favorite sons like the Red Sox. They are a blue-collar, working class team that has endured for over 100 years and produced many years of losses. Yet their fan base stays.  

Why? I honestly don’t know. This season, I even “took a break” from them for two weeks. I didn’t want to divorce or break up with them…I just needed a break from sporadic play and weak line drives. And yet, I always come  back to the red-and-white.  

Cole Hammels. Carlos Ruiz. Ryan Howard. Chase Utley. Jimmy Rollins., Pedro Feliz. Pat Burrell. Shane Victorino. Jayson Werth. This starting nine will walk together for ever as champions. They will never have to pay for another dinner or drink in the the city of Philadelphia. Wednesday night was their St. Crispin’s Day.  

And they made us fans proud. Thanks, Phillies. Your fans appreciate it.  

(I took this photo of Jimmy Rollins on July 4, 2008, when the Phillies played the New York Mets. While Jimmy didn’t have the greatest of World Series’, he’s their spark. As JRoll goes, so goes the Phillies.)
