Mike McCann's Field of Fotos

July 3rd, 1977 :   Mike Schmidt 's inside-the-park home run -- leading off the bottom of the 8th against Larry Demery -- is a highlight of the Phillies 11-7 victory over the Pirates at Veterans Stadium.  It was the second of the three he'd hit during his Cooperstown-bound career.  The others took place in 1974 and 1982. ( This image of Schmidt is from the Phils' 2015 Alumni Weekend.)  

A fond farewell to Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda , who died Friday at 86.  The first home-grown Giants star to debut in San Francisco, he made history as the first player to unanimously win both NL Rookie of the Year and MVP honors. He later starred for pennant or division winning teams in St. Louis and Atlanta. (Below:) Trea Turner had a terrific 31st birthday for the Phillies, contributing three hits and driving in the tying and go-ahead runs in a come-from-behind 7-6 victory the Marlins on Sunday.   Congratulations to Nationals top prospect Jacob Young.   After hitting .350 in AAA the first half of the minor league season, he's been promoted to Washington.  (I caught him in Rochester’s March 29th season opener at Syracuse.) (Below:) While we're talking minors, how about a shout-out for Mets prospect Ryan Clifford .  Obtained along with Drew Gilbert in last year's deadline deal for Justin Verlander, the Raleigh native bashed his ninth homer since joining AA Binghamton in
