We made it!
Somehow after barely posting for the last year, we were able to get through all 5 of the Phillies related HOF Candidates - and for some reason I am happy about that
2009 Allen & Ginter's Baseball Highlights #AGH23 Brad Lidge
Other than a terrific DayF original this is my favorite of the many cards that have been dedicated to Brad Lidge closing out the 2008 World Series.
I am not as big a fan of A&G base as other folks, but I do love the highlight cards. For me the attraction is honoring the games great moments, and it is cool to have a card dedicated to a Championship won by your favorite team.
Lidge was a perfect 41/41 in saves during the regular season and then went on to complete 7 additional saves in the postseason.

Clear and concise, the card mentions the 41 saves of the regular season, followed by the most important one of the postseason - The Phillies 4-3 World Series Clincher versus the Rays. We have posted a few times about this game, check here if you would like to read more.
Verdict
Brad Lidge got the final out in one of the best games that I have ever had the chance to attend HOF !!
