Until March 27, we’ll be counting down the 50 greatest Phillies games of the last 50 years. This is 50 of 50.
And this is No. 15.
THE DATE: Oct. 13, 1993
THE GAME: Phillies vs. Atlanta Braves, Veterans Stadium, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
THE STAKES: Game 6, National League Championship Series (Phillies lead 3-2)
THE GREAT: Of all the things the Phillies had provided me in life, this night would prove to be something different.
Still learning the ropes as a freshman at Elizabethtown College in Lancaster County, the chance for my favorite team to clinch a trip to the World Series somehow turned into the perfect way to assess my new social situation.
