He used to slaughter the Phillies. I have very bad memories of him.

OK, so I’m not just making that up. Yeah, total Phillie-Killer… Didn’t he once hit for the cycle against us?
I have a very clear memory of him beating us on a two-out ninth-inning homer off of Jose Mesa. It was in an afternoon game, and wasn’t in the year that Mesa was really horrible.
I swear I remember that too, but I couldn’t find it on retro-sheet just now.

Cool – thanks for finding that. I remember it vividly. I was at the game, sitting behind home plate. The crowd was roaring for the 1-2 pitch. It was down and in to Wilkerson and he slugged it (or, as Wheels would say, “he dropped the bat-head on it”). The crowd went silent. It was brutal.

My first thought exactly
He and Schneider both used to kill us on the Expos.
