That 9th inning was a real nail bitter. Great game.

Edit for typo.

WAHOO!!! Bryce did real, real nice!!

as I'm in a DC 'suburb,' and family's near Philly.

It was quite an experience

I remember that World Series, the final out from Brad Lidge, of course, but also the home run from Joe Blanton.

Phils were ahead after five innings and the bottom dropped out. Deluge. And nobody wanted to award the World Series on the basis of a five inning game. So they had to delay until two days later when it finally stopped raining. The Phillies went ahead to win and it was actually better for me because it is hell to shoot sports in the rain, and I had a much earlier victory to make deadline with

I remember that and the rain delay issue. What was your deadline, do you remember? Those things are always tough, speaking from first hand experience.

But we usually have to hustle to get the pictures in sometime around 11 or midnight. It was when I first used a laptop to transmit pictures from the dugout. Sure could’ve used one of these smart phones

I got a great shot of Ruiz sliding into home plate for the winner and the dugout erupting in the background. Of course we had to run that pile-up on the pitchers mound after the Series won very large in the paper. As I recall Jimmy Rollins injured his leg and missed some games in the next season doing that
