Nocturnal Submission: Freestanding Edition 80

Year of the Phillie: Genuine Risk!

A team filled with Hall of Fame talent: Schmidt, Carlton, Rose, plus Greg ‘The Bull’ Luzinski, Tug McGraw, Livid Larrie Bowa and a young, high-flying Lonnie Smith.

Stellar up-the-middle defense, with Garry Maddox in centerfield, Mannie Trillo combining with Bowa in the infield, Bob Boone behind the plate. And don’t forget Shake ‘n’ Bake McBride in right-field with Del Unser coming off the bench.

Dallas Green and Paul Owens as field manager and general manager, respectively, and they wept openly with the other Irishman McGraw in the clubhouse after closing it out in Game 6. Libertariats and property-rights screechers might not care for that trio’s shedding of tears in public, but those tears were merely an outpouring of something the Libertariatsz of the world would not understand, anyway — emotion.
