opu1537 says:

Cole Hamels already has a trophy for winning the NLCS MVP and a red Corvette for winning the World Series MVP. Now, he can add a muddied second base to his collection.

The memento sat in his locker yesterday afternoon, fewer than 24 hours after he became the first Phillies pitcher to steal a base since Curt Schilling did it in 1997.

The play was no fluke. Hamels and manager Charlie Manuel credited first-base coach Davey Lopes with the decision on Tuesday night. Yesterday, Lopes said his thought process essentially boiled down to, "Why not?"

"It was done for us to win a ballgame," Lopes said. "The way the game was looking, another run was huge."<BR /><DIV>
They've done it for the Phillies in these playoffs.</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
Philadelphia took control of the NL Championship Series when they broke open Game 3 — with the series tied 1-1 — by scoring four times in the first inning against Los Angeles Dodgers starter Hiroki Kuroda.
