The Phillies received their World Series rings on Wednesday. The starting lineup from game five of the World Series was announced in reverse order and the fans went nuts when Burrell was introduced. Dressed in a suit, Burrell was hugged by a teary former GM Pat Gillick, owner Dave Montgomery, and manager Charlie Manuel.
The rings have 103 diamonds, which signifies the number of wins they had last season.
The fans enjoyed the ceremony which included chants of "Charlie, Charlie,"
It was a special day for the team and a celebration of their 2008 title, which ended in a completely shocking ending to a game in which the Phils were down 10-3 in the seventh inning. Four bases-loaded walks, a ground out, and a couple of base hits later the Phillies won 12-11.
All of the celebration for 2008 is now complete and it's time to fully move on to 2009.
But before we do, take a look at the photo and video of the ceremony.
