Phillies Legend of the Week

To go along with the many changes here for RTBs we have decided to honor our Phillies legend with an entire week instead of just 24 measly hours. So to kick off our return we give you....



Kim Batiste!!



If one person defines the term "Goat to Hero" in Phillies lore it is indeed Kim Batiste. Lets take you back...



After blowing the lead in the top of the ninth with a throwing error Batiste, who was labeled in the 1993 team highlight video as a "defensive specialist" came to the plate..... What would happen next would not only lead to one of the most magical moments in Phillies history but also one of the greatest Daily News Photo pullouts ever known...





Facing Braves reliver Greg McMichael and with The Kruker on base the future Atlantic City Surf star (for 12 games) would line a double past Terry Pendleton to score the game winner and halt any ideas of his friendly Philadelphia neighbors covering his house in a monsoon of eggs.



For so much Mr. Batiste we are greatful and for that take the rest of the week off!!
