CLEARWATER, Fla. -- It's been 10 years since the Phillies became the first team in baseball history to overcome a seven-game deficit with 17 left to play, edging the Mets for the National League East title on the final day of the season.
Everybody remembers that. What's often overlooked is that they did it with three different third basemen splitting the playing time almost equally. Greg Dobbs had 57 starts, Wes Helms had 53 and Abraham Nunez had 51.
That turned out to be the only season Helms played with the Phillies. But after a 13-year career that also included stops with the Braves, Marlins and Brewers, it remains one of his most memorable.
