For the past several weeks, I've been waking up every night right around 4 A.M. I'm not sure why this started, but I would like for it to stop. To try to exorcise the 4 A.M. demon, I'm announcing a little quiz/mini contest. The winner will receive a respectable package of baseball cards from the team or player of his or her choosing.
Here's the quiz: Name the last Phillie to wear #4 before Lenny Dykstra and the 8 Phillies to wear the number since Lenny Dykstra. I'm looking for 9 names. (Full disclosure - This should be interesting . . . I would say 2 of the 9 names are easy, 1 of the names is obtainable and the other 6 are extremely difficult.)
The quiz/contest ends whenever someone leaves a comment with the 9 correct answers, or if no one gets all the answers, the person with the most correct names will be declared a winner next Friday.
And Who's Len?: Before there was Bob Abreu, there was Len Dykstra.

Excellent work! However, someone did indeed wear #4 in 1988 . . .
Mark's guaranteed himself a prize, and I'll award one additional prize to the person who comes up with the Phillie wearing #4 in '88.
Lee Elia (mgr.) worn #4 in 1988.
That is correct!
Mark & NYBBNUT - Please send me an e-mail with the team/player of your choice and I'll pull something together for you. My e-mail is in my profile.
P.S. I still woke up at 4 this morning.
