From top to bottom the Phillies were a class organization and their hard work and dedication and pride in the city shined in the World Series. The Rays did a great job this season but the Phillies came through during the season with key moves that may have been overlooked. GM Pat Gillick brought in Joe Blanton (undefeated in post season play) and Matt Stairs (key home run in NLCS) as well as Eric Bruntlett before the season who played a key role in the post season. The Phillies had two all stars (Brad Lidge and Chase Utley) but prevailed to win the World Series using every player on the team. Ryan Howard lead the league in homeruns, Jimmy Rollins was stellar in the field and Brett Myers was sent to triple A and rebounded brilliantly. Find me a team that was better than that as an organization form top to bottom. I dare you.
