Pall was on the mound when the Phillies clinched the National League East in 1993. Because he was acquired too late in the season, however, he was not on the postseason roster.
Pall grew up a White Sox fan and saw the team clinch the Western Division title in 1983. He won a championship in 1997 with the Florida Marlins. He is currently a stock broker and investment advisor.
