I was 9. I hung on every pitch. This game was incredible. This series was incredible. This postseason was incredible.

my mom said she was watching this game with her family and when the final pitch was thrown her grandfather scaled the room in 2 jumps because of how happy he was his phils won. his wife (her grandma) was also not allowed in the room during any phillies games because everytime she would walk in the phillies messed something up. im surprised she was allowed in the house during the world series 💀💀

1980 was a great year for PA sports. Sixers made the finals, Steelers won the super bowl and the Phillies won the world series

When Pete Rose catches that ball is classic Phillies baseball, Legendary, I cried when Tugger threw that last strike, and the endless party down Broad st. to city hall was also legendary!

I was a kid during the 1980 world series and I wanted to go to the game so bad. Growing up in Philadelphia You did not get to see many teams play for championships. Sky I want down to the stadium and it was like so easy to sneak in but during the series they had guards everywhere I could not get in. I could not get in until the one guard said hey kid what are you doing I said with tears in my eyes I just want to go in and watch the game and he let me in. He said Don't tell anybody I let you in I said why would I do that thank you so much sir You don't know how much this means to me. Steve Carlton was my favorite Phillies player on that team. In my opinion the best left-handed picture ever until the big unit. Randy Johnson now holds that title. Any arguments from anybody? I don't think I'll get many. But the only picture other than Steve Carlton I wanted to see they sent out tug McGraw I loved him too. When tug McGraw got out of that 8th inning jam I was so happy. I thought this is it they are going to win the world series I was crying my eyes out. It was 4-1 in the top of the 9th and I was so nervous when tug McGraw gave up the first two runners on base I started getting real nervous. I was like this is not happening they are going to lose the world series. That's baseball That's how fast things can turn around and I know this even as a little kid. My father was a bookie so there was a lot of sports talk in my house. When Boone and Rose got that first out I was sweating so bad. But I was still real nervous because the bases were jammed and the manager was patient with McGraw. When tug McGraw struck out that last batter I was crying so hard and everybody I seen was crying too we all know this doesn't happen for Philadelphia. God bless the Phillies rest in peace tug you are the man. Thank you guys for making a childhood dream come true for me I love you

Thank you that was amazing to see again. Was 9 when the hometown Phillies won it with Tugger on the mound! What a great team they had built up. All great players.

I was 23 when this happened. I remember it so clearly and that Boone-Rose drop and catch is forever etched in my mind.
