Philled with desire

The Philadelphia Phillies, as of Sept. 12, were seven games behind the New York Mets in the National League East with 17 games remaining. Chances looked dim, so Philly fans looked to play catchup with the San Diego Padres for the Wild Card instead. Who would of thought that neither the Mets nor the Padres would make the playoffs and the Phillies would hang another banner in Citizen’s Bank Park?

Sept. 30 was a day that Mets and Phil’s’ fans would remember for the rest of their lives; a day that would go down in Major League history for the best comeback in amount of games left in the season.

Citizen’s Bank Park and Shea Stadium in New York were ready to host one of the biggest games of the season. With a loss from one team and a win on the other end, it would seal the fate for that winning team to run with the NL East title.

As the fans filled the seats, nervousness overcame them because it came down to this single, solitary game. All bets were off.

Inside the Phil’s ballpark, momentum was on their side due to the recent losing streak of the Mets and it simply got better when the Florida Marlins and Mets score appeared on the scoreboard showing 7-0 in favor of the Marlins.
