PHILADELPHIA Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Milt Thompson knowswhat it's like to labor in the game of baseball without qualifyingfor postseason play.
Heading into Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies,Thompson had played in 1,080 major league regular-season gameswithout winning a division title.
Only five active players - Hubie Brooks, Don Mattingly, JulioFranco, Harold Reynolds and Rob Deer - have played in more gameswithout reaching the playoffs.
Two other Phillies - John Kruk and Pete Incaviglia - are amongthe top 14 in that dubious department. Kruk ranks eighth with 1,048games and Incaviglia is 14th with 996.
The nice thing for that …
