The Good Phight''s Deputy Editor Justin Klugh and contributor Dr. Trevor Strunk continue their anthology of the worst innings the Phillies have ever played with the bottom of the third in a truly humiliating game against the New York Giants on June 30, 1938.

Learn more about the Phillies' final game, final loss, and almost final inning every played in the Baker Bowl, and get a glimpse at Trevor's past as a boppin' Brooklyn socialite in 2009 that eventually led to the darkest chapter of his life!
