Picking the Philadelphia Phillies’ All-Postseason Team

Well, this feels strange.
For the first time since the final day of the 2006 regular season, there will be no postseason baseball in the city of Philadelphia. That’s right. Two teams from the National League East will be heading to the postseason and neither of them will be the Philadelphia Phillies.
A third place finish here in 2012 will effectively end the Phillies’ string of five consecutive NL East titles and force them on the outside of the window looking in.
But those five consecutive titles produced some excellent moments and highlighted a number of big time performers. They added to the Phillies’ rich postseason history and pushed most of this club’s core into Philadelphia sports history.
Since there won’t be a postseason in Philadelphia this year, we’ll take a look back instead. We’ll use each of those postseason moments and other great games in Phillies’ history to build a 25-man roster of this team’s greatest postseason performers.
