Today in Phillies History by Broad and Pattison

Today in Phillies History for March 30thIt Happened Today in:
1918: During an exhibition game against Boston in Miami, pilot Joe Bennett flew over the field, dropping autographed baseballs. The Phils lost the game 3-1, with a lineup that included Tin "Buck" Lai, a player of Chinese descent, at third base.
1996: The Phils postpone the next day's home opener vs. the Rockies due to an adverse weather forecast

Phillies Transactions on This Day:
1980: Traded Dave Rader to Boston for cash and a player to be named
1981: Sold Greg Luzinski to Chicago (AL)
2002: Received Hector Mercado from Cincinnati to complete the 3/28/2002 trade for Reggie Taylor.

Happy Birthday:
1897: Ed Sicking
1926: Dick Koecher

Hahaha. Were they forecasting a blizzard for the 1996 home opener?
