About


The Philadelphia Phillies are an American professional baseball team based in Philadelphia. They are a National League (NL) East division member and compete in Major League Baseball (MLB). The team's home stadium has been the Citizens Bank Park, located in the South Philadelphia Sports Complex since 2004. The Phillies are the oldest continuous same-name, same-city franchise in American professional sports. They are also known as the “The Fightin’ Phils” and “The Fightins” by fans and commentators.


Philadelphia Phillies: History


The franchise was founded in Philadelphia in 1883, replacing the team from Worcester, Massachusetts, in the National League. The team has played at several stadiums in the city, beginning with Recreation Park and continuing at Baker Bowl; Shibe Park, which was later renamed Connie Mack Stadium. They are one of the more successful franchises since the start of the Divisional Era in Major League Baseball. The Phillies have won 11 division titles, including five consecutive division titles from 2007 to 2011; these are ranked sixth among all teams and fourth in the National League. The team has only won two World Series titles, winning their first in 1980, and their second in 2008.


Philadelphia Phillies in the Recent Years


From 1883 to 2021, the Phillies' overall win-loss record is 9,935–11,112 (.472).[6] Despite their longevity and rabid fan base, the Phillies are a team historically associated with futility, being the first American sports franchise to amass over 10,000 losses. The franchise holds the world record for most ever losses by a single franchise in any professional sport. They rank sixth among all teams and fourth in the National League with 11 division titles won between 2007 to 2011. They are one of only two teams without a wildcard birth. Hall of Fame third baseman Mike Schmidt is widely considered the franchise's greatest player of all time.
