Phillip Raymond Stephenson (born September 19, 1960) is an American former Major League Baseball first baseman. He played all or parts of four seasons in the majors, from 1989 until 1992.
While playing for the Shockers of Wichita State University under his older brother, Gene, Phil hit safely in what was then the longest hitting streak in Division I history, 47 straight games in 1981. His record was broken by Oklahoma State's Robin Ventura, who hit safely in 58 straight games in 1987. He was also the victim of one of the most famous plays in College World Series history - The Grand Illusion play by Miami in 1982.[1]
