Look at the Phillies' lineup five years later--every one of those players were gone, except for Mike Schmidt. (He didn't start that game in 1988, but he was still on the team.) Of course, every player in the Reds lineup in 1983 was gone too, except for Dave Concepcion and Ron Oester (who was on the DL in 1988).

Scott Podsednik batting 5th?

Scott Podsednik batting 5th?

I scratched my head at that, too. But who else in that lineup is going to hit fifth? Maybe Wes Helms, but even he is not an obvious choice.
