So, I wanted to dig into the 2008 Phillies roster, you know, relive the glory days. I started by scouring the internet for information.

First, I gathered some basic info on the team’s all-time leaders. I found out that Mike Schmidt is a legend, topping the charts in games played, home runs, RBIs, and a bunch of other stats. It’s crazy how dominant he was!
Main Roster Research
Then, I dove into the 2008 roster itself. I wanted to see every single player who made an appearance for the Phillies that year. My goal was to get a complete picture of the team.
- I came across a list that mentioned Cole Hamels as a pitcher, Carlos Ruiz as a catcher, and Ryan Howard as the first baseman. That got me excited because those were some of the big names from that championship season.
- I also discovered that Charlie Manuel was the manager. He was the guy leading the charge, so it’s important to remember his role.
- Another detail I stumbled upon was that a player named Coste was on the roster as a catcher. His number was 27, according to the info I found.
Compiling the Data
I started compiling all this information. It was like putting together a puzzle, piece by piece. I made sure to note down the player’s name, position, and any other details like their jersey number or the date the information was published.
The more I researched, the more I realized how many players contributed to that 2008 season. It wasn’t just the stars; it was a whole team effort. Every player, even the ones who didn’t get as much playing time, had a part to play.
Finally, after collecting all the data, I organized it in a way that made sense to me. I had a clear, comprehensive list of the 2008 Phillies roster, along with some interesting tidbits about the team’s history. It was a fun trip down memory lane, and I learned a lot about the team that brought home the championship that year. Man, what a team, what a season, I enjoyed this very much!
