Domer Brad Lidge Closes Out World Series… Plus Pitt Preview

Former Notre Dame pitcher Brad Lidge, the Major League Baseball leader in strikeouts per nine innings, recorded save number 48 (out of 48) the other day when he closed out the rain-delayed sixth game of the World Series, helping the Philadelphia Phillies earn the title. Some of you might not know that Lidge used to play for Notre Dame when he was in college, and indeed won the Big East Player of the Year in his junior year with the Irish. Congrats to Lidge and to the rest of the Phillies organization.

Today there will be a Halloween-style pep rally at Notre Dame to get pumped about the next home football game, the one this weekend against Pittsburgh. The game is officially sold out, but if you’re wise you know the right places to get tickets. Hint, hint. There’s a great pre-game article about the matchup between Notre Dame and Pittsburgh with a lot of historical perspective and random statistics. Check it out at UND.com.
