Weston Wilson is Wikipedia famous already: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_M ... gue_at_bat

[FolesMVP09]

starters include a former Pirates bench guy, a Phillies bench guy who is getting too much PT, and Quad-A player making his MLB debut.

Tonight will forever be known as the Weston Wilson game....

and it would have been, if not for that damn Lorenzen....

Last Phillie to hit a HR in his first AB - Marlon Anderson

Prior to tonight - 5 no hitters since

Clearly Wilson's feat is rarer

[Christopher]

Kind of surprised Wilson hasn't gotten a shot from someone before now. It would be fun if he could stick around for a couple years on the bench. Maybe he can become what Harrison was seven years ago. I suspect the question will be how many positions they're truly comfortable putting him at. He's the kind of guy who had a lot more value when teams needed pinch hitters and didn't carry 13 pitchers.

Wilson will go back down when Pache is ready, but would be good as one of the 2 9/1 call-ups (the other being a reliever)

[Christopher]

There is no doubt the Phillies have underachieved most of this season, but at the moment they have the third-best record in the National League.

Magic # for a playoff spot is 44ish

[BelmontShore]

Half the lineup is subs and they produce a 7-0 no hit performance.

That's baseball.

Was Utley's grand slam in his first game? I think his first hit was a double in that game.

His first start, but he had pinch hit earlier in the season.
