Philadelphia Phillies Tickets

After finishing at 92-70 and winning the World Series crown in 2008, there’s still plenty of fight left in the Philadelphia Phillies – a young, explosive baseball team that continues to rule the NL East Division. Though the Philadelphia Phillies faced some down moments, they turned up the intensity when it counted, blowing through the MLB Playoffs. A tough series in the bitter cold against the Colorado Rockies and a dominating rout of the Los Angeles Dodgers should give the Philadelphia Phillies a boost of confidence as they head into the World Series against the New York Yankees.

Power hitting brought the Philadelphia Phillies to the Big Dance in 2008 and they will continue to stick with the longball. The Philadelphia Phillies starting lineup has four hitters with more than 30 homeruns apiece, with Ryan Howard clocking in 45 homers himself. Chase Utley and Raul Ibanez are just as likely to crack a few deep. The Philadelphia Phillies pitching staff is greatly improved from the previous World Series and features the likes of Cliff Lee, Pedro Martinez, and Cole Hamels. Closer Brad Lidge has been lights-out in the MLB Playoffs.

Even with a World Series Championship, the Philadelphia Phillies were seen as underdogs all year. The Philadelphia Phillies relished this position, stunning some of the MLB’s most overrated teams every night thanks to their big bats. The acquisition of pitchers Pedro Martinez and Cliff Lee really put the Philadelphia Phillies over the top. A 93-69 record was enough to get the Philadelphia Phillies an NL East Championship and put all doubters to rest. The Philadelphia Phillies also got sweet revenge in the NLCS, embarrassing the preseason-favorite LA Dodgers.

One of the best sports towns in the world, Philadelphia packs every home game for teams likes the NFL Eagles, NBA 76ers, and the NHL Flyers. These loyal and knowledgeable fans are bound to turn out in record numbers to see their Philadelphia Phillies take on the hated New York Yankees. With great crowds in both New Yankee Stadium and Citizens Bank Park, the 2009 World Series will have an audience as electric as the on-field action.
