Worth the Wait: Tales of the 2008 Phillies
Detailing Philadelphia's long sports drought, this account chronicles the magical postseason run that unleashed a quarter-century of pent-up frustration. For 25 years, the city waited for a team like the 2008 Phillies to come along, and unlike so many Phillies teams that were haunted by the past, this team was inspired by it, by the chance to place its own inimitable stamp on the franchise.

ESPN's Jayson Stark serves up chronological snapshots of the 2008 World Series winning Philadelphia Phillies. It's unbalanced; Stark skimps on the regular schedule to overindulge on the post-season. And the rah-rah is relentless and hyperbolic. But Stark's unflagging energy, his nice-guy tone, and his way with an offbeat analogy are ingratiating.
