I've had a sports complex for a long time, and now you're gonna hear about it.
I've had a sports complex for a long time, and now you're gonna hear about it.
In my younger years, I was a big fan of keeping score when I attended Phillies games. As such, I have a mound of old scorecards that highlight the games that I went to, spanning the seasons from roughly 1997 to 2005.
In 2019, I began writing occasional retrospectives on these specific games for Section215.com (and later migrated to ThatBallsOuttaHere.com), exploring these games on the anniversary of when they were played. I ended this feature in 2023. Here is a comprehensive list of links that will take you back to these snapshots of Phillies history...
