(Garry Maddox ,Harry Kalas ,Richie Ashburn , Andy Musser,Chris Wheeler )|The 1993 Philadelphia Phillies season saw the Phillies capture the
National League East championship. The Phillies defeated theAtlanta Braves in theNational League Championship Series in six games, before losing the World Series to theToronto Blue Jays .Offseason
Regular season
After finishing in last place the year before, the Phillies took the lead in the NL East on opening day, and never relinquished the lead, as they clinched the division title on September 28 in Pittsburgh.
The 1993 Phillies were led by stars such as
Darren Daulton ,John Kruk ,Lenny Dykstra , andCurt Schilling . The team was often described as "shaggy," "unkempt," and "dirty." The previous year, noting the presence of the clean-cutDale Murphy , Kruk himself described the team as "24 morons and oneMormon ." Their character endeared them to fans, and attendance reached a record high the following season. As a play on the legendary Baseball Year|1927New York Yankees 'Murderers' Row , the team's dirty, mullet-wearing look was dubbed "Macho Row." To the surprise of their city and the nation, the Phillies powered their way to a 97-65 record and an NL East division title.During the season there were a multitude of memorable moments. In late April, the team rallied from 8-0 down to beat the
San Francisco Giants 9-8 in 10 innings, spurred when Giants reliever Bryan Hickerson slammed the ball off the turf to celebrate an out. InSan Diego , a few days later, left-fielder Milt Thompson saved a game by making a leaping catch on a potential grand slam by Padres catcherBob Geren .Terry Mulholland hurled the first shutout inMile High Stadium as the Phils swept the expansionColorado Rockies in late May. On July 2, the Phils and Padres hooked up for a doubleheader which lasted almost 12 hours with rain delays.Mitch Williams won the second game on an RBI single at 4:41 AM. Five days after that,Lenny Dykstra ended a 7-6, 20-inning affair against the Dodgers at the Vet with a ground-rule double.A three-game sweep of the
St. Louis Cardinals to end July effectively pushed the Redbirds out of the pennant chase, andDanny Jackson 's 12-0 rout ofCincinnati on August 29 left the Cards 10 out and Expos 10 1/2 out with one month to go.However, a September slip caused some columnists in the city to compare the club to the infamous 1964 team. They dropped five of seven at home to the Cubs and Astros, then lost two of three at Olympic Stadium which brought Montreal within four with 13 games remaining.
All that was put to rest on September 28, as the Phils wrapped up the NL East with a 10-7 win over Pittsburgh at
Three Rivers Stadium .Mariano Duncan hit a grand slam to lead a comeback effort, and little-usedDonn Pall closed out the game, touching off a wild celebration for their first division crown since 1983.Opening Day Starters
