It happened on this day in:
1900: In a game at Baker Bowl, a Cincinnati player uncovers a buzzer and wires under the dirt in the third base coaches box. The buzzer was believed to be part of a scheme used by the Phillies to steal signs using a backup catcher stationed above the center field clubhouse with a spyglass. The game continued without protest or penalty. Reportedly, the Phillies' espionage activities were already known to other teams in the League.1984: New York's Dwight Gooden fanned 16 Phillies, but he also made an error leading to an unearned run and balked in a run for a 2-1 Phillies victory. Shane Rawley scored the winning run for the Phillies and pitched a complete-game 5-hitter.
1996: When Glenn Dishman pitches the 9th inning of a game against Florida, he becomes the 54th player to appear in a Phillies uniform in 1996, tying a National League record.
2005: The Phillies score 10 runs in the top of the ninth on 8 hits and 4 Florida errors for a 10-2 win over the Marlins. Endy Chavez and Shane Victorino entered the game as pinch runners and got to bat later in the same inning when the Phils bat around.
2011: Raul Ibanez' 8th inning grand slam paced the Phillies to a 9-2 win over St. Louis, earning them their fifth straight NL East Division title.
