On this day in 1980 the Eagles won a hard fought game in a windy Veteran's Stadium against the Bears 17-14.  The win was a good test for the Eagles who finished the first half of the season 7-1 and had aspirations of a Super Bowl.

On this day in 1987 the Eagles beat the Cowboys 37-20 in first game after the players strike.  Buddy Ryan called for a fake spike that led to a touchdown with seconds left to get his revenge on Tom Landry for running up the score 2 weeks before when he put his strike breaker players in during the 2nd half of blowout.  This reignited the Eagles/Cowboys rivalry.

The Phillies are going to the World Series in dramatic fashion.  Also on this day in 2010 the Eagles lost to the Titans 37-19.  The loss prompted Andy Reid to replace Kevin Kold with Michael Vick as the starting the quarter back, resulting in the Eagles winning the NFC East.

On this day in 1993 Joe Carter hit a 3-run homer in the bottom of the 9th to win the World Series and the 93 Phillies season.  Ordinarily we wouldn't discuss this with what's on the line for this year's Phillies but this is #NewPhilly.  Let's Go!

On this day in 2000 the Eagles beat the Bears 13-9 at the Vet to improve to 5-3.  While it seemed inconsequencial at the time, they were about to embark on an epic run that would lead to an 11-5 record, a playoff win, Donovan emerging as a star and a young Jim Montgomery becoming a season ticket holder.

On this day in 1980 the Phillies beat the Royals 4-1 to win the World Series for the first time in team history.  Mike Schmidt knocked in 2 runs while Steve Carlton shut down Kansasa City.  The iconic moment of Tug McGraw's leap, forever ingrained in Phillies lore.  Let's keep the good vibes rolling this weekend.

Relax Philly fans, the Phillies will be ok.  This is New Philly.  On this day in 1993 the Phillies lost to the Blue Jays 15-14 in Game 4 of the World Series.  The game was back and forth until the Phillies pulled ahead 14-9 only to give up 6 runs in the 8th.  They would go on to lose the Series in 6 games.

On this day in 1980 the Phillies came from behind in the 9th to beat the Royals 4-3 in Game 5 of the World Series.  The win gave the Phillies a 3 games to 2 lead heading back to Philly for Game 6.  Manny Trillo hit a line shot off Dan Quisenberry and beat out George Brett's throw allowing Del Unser to score the go ahead run.

On this day in 2009 the Phillies beat the Dodgers 11-0 in Game 3 of the NLCS.  Ryan Howard and Jayson Werth each had 2 RBIs in the first and Cliff Lee scattered 3 hits to go with 10 strikeouts over 8 innings.  We also preview this year's NLCS.

On this day in 2010 the Phillies beat the Giants 6-1 in Game 2 of the NLCS to even up the series.  Jimmy Rollins broke the game open with a 3-run double in the 7th as Roy Oswalt had a no-hitter through 5 innings.
