A hit into deep right center field THIS BALL IS OUTTA HERE

[@scoobycarr5558]

Cubs fan here. I did like Jack Brickhouse's "hey hey" and Harry Caray's "holy cow" but no announcer proudly made baseball more entertaining than Harry Kalas' "outta here" and of course his historic final out call in the 2008 World Series.

[@carmensandiego328]

Jimmy C miss his voice everyday

[@theesweetscience2500]

Voice will be echoed forever. Harry we miss u.

[@BigMFWrubez]

Such an underrated aspect of that team was our defense. That middle infield combo was vicious.

[@edgethawavestar2855]

Very good defense, powerful offense, good bench powerful bullpen. And 3 ace pitchers in hamels,Myers, and Jamie Moyer.

[@Flyers28]

Probably the best combo. Utley and Rollins.

[@Kourumeme]

Extra base hitting team with the best home run hitter in howard

[@stuh2772]

As a lifetime Phillies fan, the celebrations have been few, but this 2008 Phillies team was absolutely one of THE BEST teams in MLB history…they simply gelled together like few teams ever do. A memory I will never forget.

[@Altcomsports]

Lmao, you can hear the disdain in Buck's voice. Calling everything with no excitement. Greatest time in my philly sports life though.

....btw, buck can go scratch. Not about him, is it?!?!?

[@smodelux]

@MANCHESTER UNITED No it won't. I assume you're basing this presumption on changing demographics courtesy of Mexican and Hispanic immigration? You have to recognize that, first, some of these peoples also love baseball and, second, many more of these immigrants will gradually assimilate to typical American tastes. The typical American view is that soccer is non-masculine if not outright "gay," and corny. Kind of like how many Britishers look down on baseball by comparing it to your "rounders." If you want to talk about changing demographics from Manchester, women's soccer at least will probably be gone outright in the UK in 2040 as all of your women are thrown in burkas and hijabs. By the way, why the hell are you on a highlights page for baseball? Hell, even basketball will most likely always remain more popular than soccer in America.

[@deucelooselyptcg1237]

@MANCHESTER UNITED hahahahah, not in this country keep dreaming

[@Wildcat6319]

Thanks for including that play Chase made at 5:55 because in my humble opinion, it was the play of the Series. Chase Utley...you are the MAN! RIP Harry

[@johngill3922]

The 2008 phills were a spectacular team even Joe Blanton

[@94nolo]

Joe was an ace. So was Jamie Moyer. They should have started him in 2009. I think it's why they didn't win that WS.

[@seann1153]

Shane Victorino was so underrated in the 2008 postseason it’s crazy

[@chrisbromley7214]

I’d take Blanton over Velazquez and Pivetta right now.

[@PattyBandAidz]

If you remember, Blanton started that year in Oakland and was a mid season pickup... how huge he ended up being

[@theapologist6717]

@@PattyBandAidz Blanton never recorded a loss that year once coming over, he was a crucial pickup. Also the Dodgers got to him a bit, but he still had a 2-0 record and 3.18 ERA that Postseason in his three games. Not to mention 5:25, which, in spirit, gives him a 2.65 ERA in the '08 postseason, if you give him back a solo homerun.

[@nickdags4646]

I was at game 5 of the series, both nights. My junior year of highschool, pops came home, told me to get upstairs and get in the car. Surprised me with those tickets. I was in a stadium surrounded by grown men crying, my dad and I included. Magic.

[@scoobycarr5558]

Greetings to you sir from Philadelphia or thereabouts from Pennsylvania and a Phillies fan from Scooby from near Chicago and a Cubs fan. I saw that game on Fox Sports. Boy was that Joe Buck announcer a pathetic joke! I would've loved to hear Harry Kalas' historic message over the airwaves.

[@johngullo9420]

Never get tired of watching this. Harry has been gone 11 years today. Hard to believe. Not the same without him.

[@wolfey137]

[@tunasub2637]

I come back to this video at least 1 time a year

This team was friggn nasty. Watching them play was the greatest time period in my life. I wish i could relive it

[@mejeremiejohnmartin9334]

Same here I would watch every game

Man, I loved watching this Phillies team from 2006-2010

[@davidsantoselmellodelamarg4923]

DAMN!! 2008 WAS THE GREATEST MOMENT EVER FOR THIS PHILLIES BALL CLUB. ROLLINS, UTLEY, HOWARD, VICTORINO, BURRELL, FELIZ, HAMELS, BLANTON, RUIZ, LIDGE, ESPECIALLY THE LATE CHARLIE MANUEL. I MISS THIS ROSTER!!!

[@josephstephenshedosky9120]

Eagles winning the super bowl was great, but the 2008 baseball playoffs with the Phillies was my fondest sports experience

Don't get TOO excited Joe Buck...

Hahaha

[@thomasferrier7072]

@M I actually agree with you. I don’t like soccer but I could see that happening

[@Shinxythreepigs]

Can you guys shut up American sports are the best I do like soccer but only mls in conclusion you guys need to stop your yapping about soccer being better than baseball

[@aibonitoguerrero]

Teared up. Remember this day like if it was yesterday. Listening to the iconic voice of Harry was an honor. He was Philadelphia. The Fighting Phils!

[@josephvanhorn5347]

Those Phillies teams would fit right in today’s MLB. Home runs, strikeouts, and walks. That was the strategy. No bloopers, bleeders, or cue shots. One through eight, every hitter in their order was a threat to go deep.

[@fleececentral9238]

With also the speed threats of rollins and victorino. Utley could run well too

[@elliemyers6435]

Yeah, these team had a really good bullpen as well. Lidge was awesome this season, and Ryan Madson was the best set up man in the league, and could go multiple innings. JC Romero was also pretty solid as well.

[@carmensandiego328]

Harry Kalas was the best Phillies announcer ever! RIP Harry we all miss your awesome voice every day!

HOW BOUT THEM PHILLIES NOW

[@nicksacco5041]

The good ole' days

[@lenperrone485]

yes they were the best of times. I had the thrill of being at both games 3 and 5 of the WS. being at CBP watching them finish off game 5 with my son will be a memory that I will take to my grave. As the celebration began my son said to "Dad what do we do now, the season is over". My reply, 'Jeff, it's only 92 days to Pitchers and catchers" Keep your chin up Philly, we have a young improving team. We'll be back to the days of CBP sellouts.

[@dannynicastro3207]

Len Perrone ...😁🤗😎😉😄🕊🦅Cool....ah, the memories. They will do it again. Not to worry. We may be a bit slower and not able to go bananas, as some of us would do in our youth, but the victory is still as sweet. My 56 yo husband cried as the Eagles took the Superbowl title. Tried to.hide it, but couldnt, LOL. ITS A.GOOD THING for a City or Town. Truly, have faith.....and lots of patience. Danielle. 🤗😁God bless n on to the next Season. Trump 2020!😎🕊🦅.Ya. Oui. Se. YES. later.

[@almazzuca1213]

Buck could not have TRIED to be more mad and bored throughout this postseason.

[@samuel1624]

Remember how much we did not appreciate Pat the Bat before this year? That Stairs and Blanton HR live rent free in my mind.

[@PattyBandAidz]

These Phillies teams from 07 to 11 were all very very good teams but this 08 year just might be the greatest assembled team in phillies history, you could not pitch to anyone in this lineup top to bottom, and the bullpen pitching that season, all season was almost umhittable, also helped that every starter was going at least 7 deep in every single game

[@edgethawavestar2855]

Crazy that Jamie Moyer was the ace of that phillies team at 46 years old

[@pdet1951]

They could have won the series in 2009 also

god joe buck hates Philadelphia teams

[@bella-gr6tg]

Joe Buck hates everything!! He ruins every game by pointing out the worst things in each and every team

[@mpa1931]

The guy that announced the NLDS of this year was actually the Brewers commentator and he did a way better job of unbiased announcing than Joe Butt.

[@jeremystrause1028]

Pop Films he wasn't as bad as I thought he would be that game. He showed more emotion than I've ever heard from him, at least from a Philly perspective

[@I_Eat_Meat12345]

Read his book. He gives some insight.

[@andrewwilhoit6791]

Every city everywhere (outside of St. Louis) thinks that Buck hates their team. I live in Chicago and everyone bemoans him despising the (especially) Cubs, Sox, and Bears. It's just the way he carries himself I think.

[@dancecrew1996]

I remember watching this game so vividly, then that last pitch and everybody raised their hand and just started screaming. I fucking loved it!

[@cameronreed1021]

The cool thing about the phillies fans is that we respect the players that once played for us that are on different teams

[@mynameed7720]

Goosebumps rewatching this, took me right back to my childhood watching Lidge throw that pitch, my family losing their minds, running outside with everyone in my neighborhood cheering, getting in their cars, and driving down to Broad St. to celebrate. I will never forget that night.

[@mattragusa210]

I'll never forget that season as long as I live.

Honestly I almost cried 😭😭 I miss these guys we are so bad now

[@ABitefLife]

So many personalities and phenomenal hitters and fielders. Victorino was my favorite player from that era. The Flyin Hawaiian!!

[@iamthepapi6251]

This was one of the first world series that I actually was glued to the TV paying attention to and I'm a Cardinals fan. All I remember is bombs I remember home runs being hit like they were nothing and they went far and high! Lol.

[@towertito2149]

I'll always remember where I was. What I was doing during that last pitch.... south street Philly. Jumping around in the strees with everyone. Tears. Joy. It bridged all gaps. Color. Religion. Everyone was just..... full of love and celebration that night. Our city NEEDED THAT WIN

[@jimb.598]

I was in Northeast Philly on Frankford Ave doing the same!!

[@johngullo9420]

I’ll never get tired of watching this. What a season ! Bought the WS on iTunes years ago. A bargain at $6.99.

[@anishheda]

That was one hell of a team. Really hoping Phillies can replicate it and that we can be contenders these next 5-6 years.

[@zeeekkk3297]

Pat Burrell was underated

[@solomong9653]

I watch this when I'm sad. It helps

[@morrisgarage8887]

Watching this brought back great memories. I had just moved to NC after spending several years in Philadelphia. Will always be a lifelong Philly fan. I think there was a rain delay on the final game. I remember falling to my knees screaming with joy much like Lidge did after the final out.

[@denisparanormal2790]

Every time I see this video all the same emotions from 2008 come back. Go Philiesssss!!!!!

[@phillyfan1568]

This is why I hate Joe Buck he has no emotion when it comes to Philadelphia sport teams

[@Litor2121]

Ben Spear I was thinking the same thing. Just compare this to the Cubs games called this year tells you everything.

[@rockabillylaker]

Now he's showing more emotion but, saying the same thing after every home run. All I remember from the 2017 WS was "baaack at the walllll!!"

[@marc3702]

I am a Phillies fan. Joe Buck is terrible. He had no emotion though with any team until recently (McCarver leaving). He has some emotion now, but is still bad. Not personal to Philadelphia sports, just him.

[@trustysteeringwheeltray7392]

He hates Chicago teams; especially the White Sox and bears too. His voice tone/lack of excitement tells you everything.

[@gman2506]

I do kinda like how he was silent and let the crowd show how the moment was.

[@MarcS-mp1je]

I cried both times. I’d never thought I would see any championships. I was only 4 years old when the 76ers won in 82/83. Until the 2008 Phillies I thought Philly was destined to never win anything. It’s still surreal to this day . Winning is very addictive, once you get that taste, you can’t get enough of it.

[@frankpfaff9675]

Crazy they won with hamels, myers, blanton, and moyer as their starting big 4 but couldnt win it all when they had the "4 aces"-hamels, oswalt, lee, and the late great roy halladay. Being a philly fan glad they got 1, but should have won at least 1, maybe 2 more during that run from 2007-2012.
