The Philadelphia Phillies are the oldest major league baseball team to hold the same name and commitment to the same city since being established back in 1883. They have been affiliated with the National League since the formation and later joined the East Division in 1969. Uniform colors are red, white and blue. Because they are the oldest team in the NLB, there is likewise a history of adversity that is associated with the Phillies as having lost more games than any other team in the professional sports arena in the United States. Before taking on the name of the Philadelphia Phillies, this team was known as the Philadelphia Quakers from 1883 to 1889. Interestingly enough, the Quakers name was interchanged with the Phillies name from 1884 to 1889, when the Phillies name stuck.

Some nicknames that the Phillies have been known for include the Phils, The Fightin’ Phils, The Fightin’s, The Phightin’ Phils and the Phightin’s. From 1943 to 1948, the Phillies were also often called the “Bluejays” even though they had been officially named the Phillies at that time. Winning the World Series in 1980 and 2008, the Phillies also have 7 National League Pennants and 9 East Division titles. In 1883, the team replaced the one that was from Worcester, Massachusetts. Ballparks where the Phillies have played in the past included Recreation Park from 1883 to 1886, Baker Bowl from 1887 to 1926 and again from 1928 to 1938, Connie Mack stadium in 1927, 1938 to 1970 and 1938 to 1952 and Veterans Stadium from 1971 to 2003. These venues were also known by the names Philadelphia Base Ball Grounds, National League Park and Shibe Park.

Many people associate the Phillies with the longstanding rival they’ve held with the New York Mets, which is regarded as one of the best ones in the industry. These two fantastic teams have battled for the playoff position more often than a little bit. With such an intense rival, noteworthy moments like the 2007 championship where the Phillies won the last day of the season just as the Mets were defeated with a 7 game lead. Many regarded the 2008 World Series win as a break in the curse of Billy Penn. Retired Phillies’ numbers include 1, 14, 20, 32, 36 and 42.

Citizens Bank Park, located at One Citizens Bank Way in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was first opened in 2004 and has been the home of the Phillies since that time. With a current seating capacity of 43,647 since 2007, Citizens Bank Park holds a left field LED display video board that is a whopping 39 feet 5 inches by 69 feet 7 inches (2,759 square feet). The All-Star Walk has Phillies players is a tribute to those who have placed the MBL All-Star Games since 1933. Delicious food choices bring many fans back time and again to enjoy everything from Philadelphia cheesesteaks to BBQ and more. Rooftop bleachers, exposed bullpens and excellent sites from around the park make Citizens Bank Park a great place to enjoy a baseball game.
