As the Phillies make another run at the World Series, many are looking back at the last time they won it all.

Back in '08, it was the end of a 25-year Philadelphia sports curse that sent champagne flying at Citizens Bank Park - the first major professional sports championship in 25 years."To see it now from a different perspective, not on the field, I'm really excited to be able to do that, especially with a lot of teammates that are here," said Hamels.

"Electric. You know the sports teams here really kind of unify everybody," remembered Mike Browning of Fox Chase.
