I think this is a post that most Phillie fans in their late 20's-early 30's can appreciate.I found this old program, and it flat-out made me smile.
First, it is from the magical 1993 season.
Second, it features autographs from Kyle Abbott and Ruben Amaro, Jr. - the two players the Phillies acquired when they rid themselves of the posterboy from the dreadful mid-to-late 80's teams, Von Hayes.
Third - I actually kept score. I can't remember the last time I did that.
Four, it was a victory over the division rival Braves, who threw John Smoltz that day.
And, finally, while he will tell you it really wasn't him who hit that homerun, Dutch Daulton had a round tripper that afternoon.

what an awesome post dude. although you are incorrect on some things.
-While your program might be from 1993, that scorecard is from a 1992 game. The only season in which Stan Javier played for the Phils.
-the Braves didn't arrive in the NL East until 1994.
-isn't it funny Dutch led the league in RBIs with 109 in 1992?
holy crap, a game where Dave Hollins didn't get plunked by a fastball... I do see that Juan Bell made his usually error in the 7th though.
Awesome post, had flashbacks from some of those god awful late 80's Phillies teams I grew up with. Shout out to Rick Shue!
