PM770, you are in the wrong decade. That is the 1983 Phillies.
Statistical tidbit, in 1983, at age 39, Morgan stole 18 bases and was caught just 2 times.
The 83 Phillies also had Tony Perez and were sometimes called the Big Dead Machine. But they won their division despite playing Pete Rose for a full season at 1st. That year, Rose had an OBP of just .316 with no HRs in 493 AB; ugh.

To my great shame. I hadn't even realized that until now. I was thinking Schmidt was "kinda, sorta" a Red because he grew up in the Cincy area.

I hadn't heard that one. I remember them being referred to as The Wheez Kids.

Wasn't it in late September and the postseason that they started using the illustrious Len Matzusak? If I remember correctly, he provided that extra kick into the postseason.
