In addition to being the guy who threw the last pitch in the 2008 World Series, just the second title in franchise history, completing a perfect 48-for-48 season in save opportunities, Lidge was one of the more personable, quotable and intelligent players to wear a Phillies uniform. Even in his somewhat short stint with the Phillies (2008-11), Lidge became a popular voice in the clubhouse, a respected teammate and a go-to player for media looking for insight on the state of the team.
