The Phillies and Memorial Day - It's a match many have put aside as arbitrary and meaningless and nonexistent. But to them, legends like Mick Schmidt, Babe Ruth, and the Philadelphia Stars of the Negro Leagues say "QUIET, FOOLS. THIS IS A DAY MOST CATACLYSMIC IN THE HISTORY OF THIS CITY AND ITS PEOPLE."
1935
Babe Ruth hits a terrible ground ball to Phillies first baseman Dolph Camilli, walks off the field, and never plays professional baseball again.
