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. 28 – with a special Mike Schmidt giveaway for readers…see below…

THE DATE: April 17, 1976

THE GAME: Phillies vs. Chicago Cubs, Wrigley Field, Chicago, Illinois

THE STAKES: Few. It’s April at Wrigley.

THE GREAT: Everyone always talks about that 1979 slugfest in Chicago, yet few mention a game three years earlier that was just as insane.
