Before the [[1992 Philadelphia Phillies season|1992 season]], the organization decided to shed the maroon uniform and logo and use colors similar to those used during the days of the "Whiz Kids". The season ended with the Phillies at the bottom of the standings—last place in the National League East. However, their fortunes were about to change.

The [[1993 Philadelphia Phillies season|1993]] Phillies were led by stars such as [[Darren Daulton]], [[John Kruk]], [[Lenny Dykstra]], and [[Curt Schilling]]. The team was dubbed "Macho Row" for their shaggy, unkempt, and dirty look. Their character endeared them to fans, and attendance reached a record high the following season. 

The team powered their way to a 97–65 record and an NL East division title, all thanks to a big April in which the Phillies went 17–5. The Phillies' major contributors on offense were Dykstra, Kruk, [[Kevin Stocker]] (a rookie who led the team in batting average, hitting .324), and [[Jim Eisenreich]], all of whom hit over .300 for the season. Their pitching staff was led by 16-game winners Curt Schilling and [[Tommy Greene]]. Each member of the rotation posted at least 10 wins, while the bullpen was led by elder statesman [[Larry Andersen]] and closer [[Mitch Williams|Mitch "Wild Thing" Williams]], who notched 43 saves and a 3.34 [[earned run average|ERA]].

They beat the [[Atlanta Braves]] in the [[1993 National League Championship Series]], four games to two, to earn the fifth NL pennant in franchise history, only to be defeated by the defending World Series champion [[Toronto Blue Jays]] in the [[1993 World Series]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Phillies Timeline: 1990s |publisher=Philadelphia Phillies |work=History Highlights |url=http://philadelphia.phillies.mlb.com/phi/history/timeline11.jsp |access-date=June 5, 2008 |archive-date=September 10, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150910143056/http://philadelphia.phillies.mlb.com/phi/history/timeline11.jsp |url-status=dead }}</ref> Toronto's [[Joe Carter]] hit a walk-off home run in Game 6 to clinch another Phillies' loss.<ref name="93WS">{{cite web | title = 1993 World Series (1990s) | publisher = [[Baseball Almanac]] | url = http://www.baseball-almanac.com/ws/yr1993ws.shtml| access-date =June 5, 2008 }}</ref>

The [[1994–95 Major League Baseball strike]] was a blow to attendance and on-field success, as was the arrival of the Atlanta Braves in the division due to league realignment. Several players from the 1993 team were either traded or left the team soon after.
