The 1993 Philadelphia Phillies were the surprise of baseball when they won the National League East Division and shocked the heavily-favored Atlanta Braves in the NLCS to reach the World Series. Led by manager Jim Fregosi, the gritty Phillies got major contributions from Lenny Dykstra, John Kruk, Dave Hollins and Curt Schilling. Offered here are five playoff lineup cards that were sourced to manager Jim Fregosi’s collection.

The top has “ON ROAD-OFFICIAL BATTING ORDER CLUB PHILADELPHIA” with “10/10/93” copied on the upper right. The Phillies lineup with the eligible reserves are copied. The second card from that game is a white card with red print that reads “THE PHILLIES LINEUP CARD” on top. The left column has “THE PHILLIES” and the right column has “OPPONENTS”. The lineups of both teams are written in pen with the “EXTRA” players and “PITCHERS” below. The date 10/10/93” is handwritten on the upper right.
