what is even happening

On MSN's MLB page, they have a story entitled, "Best Game in Each MLB Team's History." The accompanying picture? Joe Carter!

Forgot Aaron Altherr had signed with the NC Dinos of the KBO.

Here's a list of foreign players

Makings of a bad Phillies AAAA team

Sort of forgot about Chad Qualls. Paul Quantrill, too.

Who would've guessed the greatest Padres game ever featured Joe Carter and not Tony Gwynn?

He’ll probably be playing before his former teammates. Savvy

You must be seeing a different picture than I'm seeing. The one I'm seeing has Carter, in a BLUE JAYS uniform, hitting his walkoff in '93

The Padres one has Steve Garvey

It was a joke, as in I have blocked that Joe Carter moment from registering in my brain.

can Roman Quinn be far behind

ha i didn't even notice that this was a new thread and the title!!!

Got sucked into watching old games on ClassicPhilliesTV's YouTube channel (great background noise / visuals on my second monitor while working).

The difference in the approach of hitters and overall pace of the game is remarkable. I know it's been beaten to death as a discussion topic in recent years but this is the first time I've gone back and actually taken in a game from the 90s, start to finish.

First few innings of Phillies vs. Yankees on 9/1/97 (Schilling 16 K's on Labor Day game) featured a hit and run, stolen base, 10 hits (like, actual hits, only one HR, most hits on the ground). Batters and pitchers alike moving at a much more urgent pace. It's refreshing.

Also, as I am typing this. Midre Cummings just got picked off at 1st.

I was at that game! First time the Vet had that many fans for a regular season game in about two years.

Since we seem to be enamoured with BIG BOARDS lately, anyone have an interest in doing a [recent] historical Phillies related one?

Was thinking ranking the players on the ‘08 team or the past 20 seasons or something like that, I’m open to suggestions as well.

phils fall to 5-15 in embarrassing fashion.

Me too, a little too young to fully remember details but remember being there.

Sometimes you just have to tip your cap and say, "Well, it's Freddy Peralta."
