The Philadelphia Phillies have won the 2008 world series over the Tampa Bay Rays in a weather drawn out 5 games led by series MVP Cole Hamels. It is the first championship by a Philadelphia team since the Phillies last won it in 1980. Philadelphia sports teams have been known to come very close in recent years but never make it all the way, until now. This also marks the end of the Rays story book season that saw them go from the worst to the World Series. The final game was very unique in that it began on Monday, and was postponed in the middle of the 6th inning because of weather, and finished up the final 3 innings tonight, which the Phillies came out one run ahead.
