Phil was the N.L. MVP on the last Chicago Cub team to make it to the World Series(1945). He was also the last living player to have played against Babe Ruth in a major league game.

    Sad as he was a nice guy. That's 4 greats gone in a short span. Sparky, Santo, Feller & Phil. Now I hear this morning Duke Snider is not feeling well.
