50 Greatest Phillies Games: 34. The 1993 Philadelphia marathon

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. 34.

THE DATE: July 7, 1993

THE GAME: Phillies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers, Veterans Stadium, Philadelphia, Pa.

THE STAKES: Reclaim control of some recent losing ways

THE GREAT: The 1993 Phillies were a rare, rare breed. They were bad in 1992 but ran the table in ‘93, never surrendering first place once they seized it in the first week of the season.
