The Philadelphia Phillies are one win away from their second ever World Series Championship, their only series win coming in 1980. The Phillies lead the Tampa Bay Rays three games to one.
Philadelphia has not had a professional sports team win its league title since the Philadelphia 76′ers swept the Los Angeles Lakers in 1983.
Game Five is scheduled for tonight at Citizen’s Bank Park with Cole Hamels pitching for the Phillies and this Game Five is a very hot ticket as fans look to be part of baseball, World Series and Philadelphia history.
If the Tampa Bay Rays can start hitting and find a way to defeat the Phillies and their ace, the Rays will force Game Six back at Tropicana Field.
