They may not take themselves seriously, but they take the game seriously.
Kinda like those 1993 Phillies of yours
.
Beards, bellies and biceps.
That was my favorite Phillie team in my life. Of course it was. We were both still young in 1993. And don't think that's not part of it!
I turned 29 that year and my first child was born during the season. The Phils had finished a distant last the previous year, and instead of bidding to get Barry Bonds in the free agent market, they used the money to get Jim Eisenreich and Pete Incaviglia to platoon, and Wildman Danny Jackson and David West.
I don't think there's been such an eccentric cast of characters to fill a roster when you add these guys to Mitch Williams, Dave Hollins, Dutch Daulton, Lenny Dykstra (whose son lives near me for the moment), Curt Schilling, Wes Chamberlain, Todd Pratt and John Kruk.
