Former Phillie of the Day - Larry Christenson

Today's former Phillie of the Day, Larry Christenson, holds two distinct honors. First, he was the starting pitcher the only time the Phillies wore their God-awful burgundy "Saturday Night Special" uniforms on May 19, 1979 (boxscore here).

He is also only one of four Phillies to play more than 10 years and spend his entire career with the same team. The others are Mike Schmidt, Terry Harmon, and Bob Miller. The full list of all MLB players in this exclusive club is here.

Anyway, here's LC decked out in dark red. And for you nostalgia fans out there, I hated the 70s and 80s Phillies uniforms. Especially the powder blue. But this is right up there in the "ugly in the dark" category. #lukewarmtake
