At the Ballpark: There's not one darn promotion or giveaway for either of these games at the ballpark formerly known as Jacobs Field. It's just two good, old-fashioned baseball games with those long-time rivals, the Phillies and the Indians. (I still haven't accepted interleague play.)

The 1973-1974 seasons were Unser's first stint in Philly, and he was the team's regular center fielder. In those two seasons, he hit .276 with 22 home runs and 113 RBIs. He'd depart for five seasons with the Mets and Expos before coming back to the Phillies via free agency prior to the 1979 season. I've featured Unser's cards and written about the highlights of his Phillies career here and here.
