Today in Phillies History by Broad and Pattison

Today in Phillies History for March 29th
Phillies' All-time Record for Today:

It Happened Today in:
1904: The Phillies gratefully landed at Race Street after returning from spring training in Savannah aboard the S.S. Allegheny. The ship sailed into a heavy gale for most of the trip north, and most of the players were seasick for the duration.

Phillies Transactions on This Day:
1948: Claimed Ed Heusser on waivers from Brooklyn
1979: Signed free agent Del Unser
1982: Released Don McCormack
1982: Released Mike Proly
1996: Lost Lenny Webster on waivers to Montreal
2000: Traded Yorkis Perez to Houston for Trever Miller.
2003: Signed free agent Wayne Gomes

Happy Birthday:
1855: Bill Harbidge
1873: Duff Cooley
1908: Gibby Brack
1953: Tom Hume
1968: Juan Bell

Ah, remember Juan Bell? That Yorkis Perez for Trever Miller deal stunk for the Phillies. Wayne Gomes was another stiff.
