I know many Phillies fans don't need to be reminded of this but just so he's not forgotten it was on this date in 1961 Art Mahaffey sets a franchise record when he strikes out 17 batters in the Phillies' 6-0 victory over Chicago. The 23 year-old right-hander whiffs at least one hitter in each inning during the Connie Mack Stadium contest. Some of his victims that day included Don Zimmer and Hall of Famers Ron Santo and Ernie Banks three times each.
