As Doug and Jenna slept soundly, I paced the living room floor until Nomar Garciaparra hit a foul pop-up caught by
Carlos Ruiz for the final out of the 2008 NLCS. (Commemorated
here, in the 2009 Chachi set).
Jimmy Rollins' lead-off home run eased some of the tension, but not all of it. For the first time since I was a sophomore at Wake, watching from the Taylor dorm as the Phils defeated the Braves, the Philadelphia Phillies were going back to the World Series. Can you believe it?
