2008 American League Championship Series - Game 7

I waited my entire life to see a game like this.  Critics will say this game meant nothing because the Phillies went on to win a short World Series (with a convicted PED user earning two of the victories), but baseball fans understand what a catalyst this game was for the future of a team that spent a decade in the doldrums only to compete with baseball's elite.  It's no coincidence that this Rays club, with many everyday players from 2008, would go on to win another AL East title in 2010 and lock-in a well-deserved WC berth in 2011.  Well done fellas.

I didn't create this montage, but there's no doubt in my mind it was made for me.
