Ben Franklin, Phillies Fan The lovely Erica just dropped off an eight-DVD set of the Phillies’ World Series win over the Rays in October. (Can you believe it’s been a month?!) The set includes all five World Series games and the final 2 games of the NLCS, plus a bonus DVD. More importantly, it features the Phillies’ radio announcers as an alternate audio track for all the games. And, most importantly, the back of the box features a Ben Franklin quote. Right under that poetic Jimmy Rollins quote. My best guess is that this thing costs $200 billion dollars. Lemme look it up… hmm… only $80! Not as bad as I’d expect, honestly. According to the press release, “And, From Atlantic City to Allentown, THE PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES® 2008 World Series COLLECTOR’S EDITION is certain to bring out Phanatics, wherever they are!” Indeed it will. This hits stores Dec. 9. Frankly, I’m not sure if I have the patience to watch 20 hours of baseball again, but maybe doing it when not breathing into a paper bag wondering how the Phillies will blow it will be even more enjoyable. |

Correction: That should be Ben Phranklin, Phillies Phan.
So you can listen to Kalas & Co. for all games rather than the hacks from FOx?
Only $49 here…

MP: Indeed you can. There’s a bit of dead air, I guess, since the radio sometimes comes back from break at a different time than the TV, but the whole radio call is there. Pretty neat.
It’s $60 at amazon.com. I’m inclined to think it’s worth it just for the radio calls.
You mean I can NOT listen to Joe Buck whine about the Rays not winning and it not being a LA v BOS series? Schweet.
The Red Sox WS dvds have the WEEI broadcast as an alternate audio track too. I think that is just the greatest feature ever. When will MLB realize that all baseball fans hate FOX?
