E-C-W! E-C-W!

Imagine the Phillies playing an in-season exhibition game against their minor league club today! They’d probably lose (2 runs, 4 hits; two singles by Turner, a Harper double and a Schwarber HR).

Grey pennant that says Reading vs. Philadelphia and Exhibition Game (in the largest letters) and April 23, 1990. It has a maroon Reading Phillies logo and small ads for Pringles, Sunny Delight, etc.

Daulton, Ready Hit Homers As Phillies Trim Reading Associated Press READING - Darren Daulton and Randy Ready homered in the fifth inning and the Phillies hung on to beat Reading, their Double A affiliate, 7-6, last night. Ready, who had hit a two-run homer, drove in another run in a two-run ninth with a double to give the Phillies a 7-5 lead. The Phillies trailed, 2-0, when they struck for five runs in the fifth. John Kruk and Dickie Thon opened the inning with singles and Daulton followed with an- opposite-field home run to left. Two outs later, Sil Campu sano walked and Ready homered to left. Reading tied the score, 5-5, in the eighth on a bases-loaded wild pitch, a groundout and an RBI double by Steve Kirkpatrick. Campusano and Ready each drove in a run in the ninth with a double off Mark Sims, the fourth Reading pitcher and the loser. Reading closed within a run when Casey Waller led off the ninth with a homer. Fred Christopher, loaned to the parent club by Reading, got the win.

I acquired a pennant from an in-season exhibition game the Phillies played against Reading in 1990. The Phillies won 7-6. Bold choice to make the main focus of the pennant the words EXHIBITION GAME, though I respect it.
