Members of the 2008 World Series Champion Philadelphia Phillies got their diamond and gold championship rings April 8 at the time of 20-minute pre-game ceremonial for a crowd of more than 44,000 people at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.

Every 14k white gold ring contains 103 diamonds, adding up 3.84 cts. The 103 diamonds signify the 92 habitual season and 11 postseason wins for the Phillies in 2008. The top of the ring is crowned with a ruby inlay, topped with the Phillies' signature "P" which is inset with diamonds, the Phillies stated in a statement. The title "World Champions" is written all along the ring's apex and base outer rim. The left side of the ring traits the player's name and number atop and beneath the Liberty Bell. The right side of the ring portrays the World Series trophy mounting out of Citizens Bank Park connoting the "marvelous support" of the fans, along with the initials of the two World Series teams and the number of games won by every team.

Members of the 2008 team, coaches, manager, general manager, trainers, and the director of team travel got their rings on the field from Phillies president and chief executive officer; David Montgomery. Totally 37 rings were presented.
"A World Series Championship ring is a most valued ownership," said Montgomery. "We wanted to present our players and rest of them in the Phillies organization with an important tribute that suitably commemorates bringing a World Championship to Philadelphia. I believe this ring certainly does that."

"The ring is one of the best I've seen and it tells a grand story," said Bob Bourbeau, director of Sports and Special Markets for Masters of Design, the Attleboro, Mass.-based jewelry producer that worked with the organization. "The strange attention and level of detail that the Phillies offered all through the method allowed us to design and make an outstanding keepsake."
