Phillies Nation Perfect Season: Mayberry magic on Opening Day

Error 0:

Every day until Opening Day arrives, Phillies Nation will take a daily look back at a regular season victory from that particular day in history that you can watch in full in lieu of live Phillies baseball. Think of it is as your daily Phillies watch recommendation.

2011 was arguably the most anticipated season in Phillies history. While the end result of the 2011 season disappointed, Opening Day certainly did not. Roy Halladay faced off against former Phillie Brett Myers in a pitcher’s duel. The Phillies found themselves down by two runs heading into the bottom of the ninth, but thanks to the heroics of pinch-hitter John Mayberry Jr, the sold-out crowd at Citizens Bank Park went home happy.
