According to a highly placed source in the Philadelphia Sports Writers Association, the Philadelphia Phillies will be honored as the Team of the Year at the PSWA's 104th annual Awards Dinner on Monday, Jan. 28, 2008.
The Phils made a thrilling late-season run to catch, pass and shock the New York Mets and win the National League East title.
The Mets, the division leaders all year long, held an seemingly insurmountable seven-game lead with just 17 games to play.
But the Phillies, who captured the heart of the regions baseball fans with their grit, personality, confidence and never-say-die demeanor, sprinted past the stunned Metropolitans, clinching the division crown and a playoff berth with a thrilling performance on the last Sunday in September.
Phillies' manager Charlie Manuel will be on hand to accept the award, and we are hopeful that a couple more Phillies may join him on our sizable dais.
