This Day in Phillies History: September 28

September 28 is a fairly momentous date in Philadelphia Phillies history.

For starters, the team clinched the National League East on this day in 1983 in a 13-6 victory over the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. It was also the 7,000th win for the franchise. It only took a 100 years!

Willie Hernández was the winning pitcher for the Phillies that day, and Cubs starter Dick Ruthven, a former member of the 1980 championship team, was handed the loss.

Of course, the 1983 Phillies, jokingly nicknamed "the Wheeze Kids," made it all the way to the World Series that season, but lost to the Baltimore Orioles.

In 2003, the Phillies played in one final game at Veterans Stadium before it was demolished and the team found a new home in Citizens Bank Park.

While the Atlanta Braves beat the Phillies 5-2 in the final game, that did not stop the celebration of all of the memories the stadium provided over its 32-year existence.

58,554 fans were in attendance and two hours of festivities took place, which included an introduction of the All-Vet team and a eulogy given by Hall of Fame broadcaster Harry Kalas, who received a standing ovation from the crowd.

And lastly, in 2011, the Phillies won 4-3 against the Braves in extra innings to set a franchise-record 102 wins in a single season.

Charlie Manuel, at 646-488, also became the winningest manager in Phillies history with the win, passing Gene Mauch.

Unfortunately, all of those regular season wins didn't do the Phils any good in the playoffs, as they lost to the eventual World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals in the NLDS.
