Phils win first World Series since 1980 (AP)

From losingest team to longest game, the Philadelphia Phillies are World Series champions. Weird as that sounds. Weird as it was. Brad Lidge and the Phillies finished off the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 in a three-inning sprint Wednesday night to win a suspended Game 5 nearly 50 hours after it started. Left in limbo by a two-day rainstorm, the Phillies seesawed to their first championship since 1980.
