 | | On March 8th, the Phillies were dealt a startling blow: All-Star first baseman John Kruk was diagnosed with testicular cancer, underwent surgery and chemotherapy for the cancer, and his status for the season at the time was unknown. |
 | | Kruk proceeded to line a pitch from Mike Harkey into right centerfield for a double, scoring Duncan, and prompting the 58,000-plus fans in attendance to stand again to salute their hero. |
 | | Kruk struck out with a runner on second and 2 outs in the ninth, but he was still the hero of the day, going 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI, and 2 runs scored. |
