On October 22, 2008 — At Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, the Philadelphia Phillies edge the host Tampa Bay Rays in Game 1 of the World Series, 3 – 2 behind a gem from Cole Hamels. The Fightin’ Phils get a home run from star second baseman Chase Utley in his first-ever World Series plate appearance. “Lights Out” closer Brad Lidge gains the save with a 1-2-3 9th inning.
For only the third time in World Series history, and the first since 1997, when Jim Palmer faced Gary Nolan, both starting pitchers in Game 1 are under the age of 25. Philadelphia Phillies started Cole Hamels, the 24 year-old left-hander, and the Tampa Bay Rays starter was 24 year-old southpaw Scott Kazmir.
