On October 6^th, 1923, Boston Braves infielder Ernie Padgett turned an unassisted triple play against the Phillies in the 4^th inning of the last game of the 1923 season. It was the 1^st triple play ever in the National league, and 4^th in modern day MLB history. It was the Philly-born Padgett’s 4^th MLB game of his career.   

On October 6^th, 2010, in his first-ever postseason start, Phillies pitcher Roy Halladay threw a no-hitter against the Cincinnati Reds in the NLDS. It was just the 2^nd postseason no-hitter in MLB history. Halladay became the 1^st pitcher in 37 years to throw two no-hitters in same season (May 29^th perfect game vs Marlins), and the first ever to throw a no-hitter AND a perfect game in the same season.
