It was 2005 NLCS Game 5. Albert Pujols vs Brad Lidge. Albert Pujols homer against Lidge rocked the Houston Astros to their core, but there's more to the story. The Astros beat the Cardinals in the NLCS, advancing to the 2005 World Series against the White Sox. With the White Sox 2005 World Series championship solidified, Brad Lidge was broken. Particularly by a Scott Posednik walk off home run.
The Pujols home run off Lidge was a huge moment in Lidge's career, and this episode of Baseball Bits, a Foolish Baseball production, is centered around his struggles and redemption. After a couple down years, A Lidge Phillies trade sent him back to the promised land. The 2008 Phillies would end up playing in the World Series as well. This time, a Brad Lidge World Series save won them the whole thing. It was a long journey, but that Pujols Lidge moment ultimately ended with Lidge redeeming himself.
Running jokes in this video include: the Pujols Lidge home run distance.
