If you had just one mulligan—just one opportunity to look back on your life, pick out a bad moment, and erase it from your life’s “score”—what would you use it on? How different would your life be without that one moment?
For the Philadelphia Phillies, it would rewrite the history books.
The Phillies’ organization is littered with “mulligan moments.” From terrible deals, to bad trades, to hideous uniforms, to quotes you can never forget, you can pick your poison. The worst part is knowing that you can’t remove them all. That would be sort of like that irrational fear of time travel: You don’t want to change something in fear of changing everything.(I know, that’s a nerdy analogy.)
So you have to pick and choose your spots. What moments in Phillies’ history can we comb through, do away with for good, but not change the entire landscape of the organization?
This slide show will bring quite a few to your attention.
