Philadelphia Phillies: 20 Most Memorable Moments in Postseason History

Another October has come and gone for the Philadelphia Phillies, albeit much sooner than anyone outside of the St. Louis area expected.

After getting bounced from the 2011 NLDS by the Cardinals in five games, all fans can do is begin to pick up the pieces.

Perhaps just as disappointing as the team’s finish itself is the vanishing opportunity to create any more October magic, playoff heroes or indelible moments in franchise history. No more games means no more drama for a team that seemed primed to win the World Series for the second time in four years.

But, after the Game 5 loss to St. Louis, the clock ran out on the Phillies’ 2011 season.

Although there will be no additions to the growing list of the team’s postseason war stories, the collection of events that helped shape the organization is permanent and frozen in time.

Looking back at almost a century of postseason play will provide its fair share of glorious memories and haunting visions. Beginning with the team’s first NL Pennant in 1915, Philadelphia has given fans a database of thrillers that seem to come in bursts.

The ranking of each item on the list will always be up for debate, but one cannot deny that each of the following has left its mark on the franchise and its fans in some way.
