Today, May 29, 2017, is the seventh anniversary of Roy Halladay’s perfect game. Seven isn’t a big number, but since we’ve seen a lot of bad pitching lately from the Phillies it feels appropriate to remember one of the best pitching performances in franchise history.
The Phillies were facing the Marlins that day, back when they were still the Florida Marlins. And back when they had guys like Gaby Sanchez and Dan Uggla and Jorge Cantu, not to mention Hanley Ramirez and rookie of the year Chris Coghlan.
