Matt Gelb and Matt Breen put together this excellent oral history of the 2007 Phillies’ clinching game, and it is a must-read:
JAYSON WERTH, outfielder: I’m in the tunnel and I’m walking down to the dugout. The place is rattling. It’s like 20 minutes before the game. I’m like, ‘What the hell is going on?’
COLE HAMELS, lefthanded starter: It’s something that’s hard to explain because you really don’t have that in sports. They’re not loud before you go out there. They’re loud the moment they see you. We weren’t even visible yet.
The best part? They brought in Harry using his words from the call that day. Good stuff. You can read it here.
Also, it turns out the whole game is on YouTube.
