The third baseman in the 1999 Philadelphia Phillies season was born on which day ?
1999 Philadelphia Phillies season The Phillies were early contenders for the Wild Card, going a season-high 13 games over .500 on August 6 (61–48), but injuries to pitching staff ace Curt Schilling and third baseman Scott Rolen, as well as a struggling bullpen, proved too tough to overcome. In one particularly bad stretch from August 28 to September 14, the Phillies went 1–18.
Bill Terry William Harold Terry (October 30, 1898 – January 9, 1989) was a Major League Baseball first baseman and manager. Terry was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1954. In 1999, he ranked number 59 on "The Sporting News" list of the 100 Greatest Baseball Players, and was a nominee for the Major League Baseball All-Century Team. The Giants retired Terry's uniform number 3 in 1984; it is posted on the facade of the upper deck in the left field corner of AT&T Park. Nicknamed "Memphis Bill", he is most remembered for being the last National League player to hit .400, a feat he accomplished by batting .401 in 1930.
