Philadelphia Phillies Baseball Hats, Jerseys and Merchandise

Philadelphia Phillies logo In 2006 the Philadelphia Phillies had a solid season and just barely missed the playoffs finishing at 85-77. For 2007 Phillies fans are hoping to get over the hump and make it make to the playoffs for a chance to play in there sixth world series in team history, the first since loosing to the Blue Jays in 1993. In order for the Phillies to make a playoff run will take key years from players such as defending NL MVP Ryan Howard, Cole Hamels, Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins, Pat Burrell, and Aaron Rowand. The Phillies will have to have big years from these players to win the NL East over teams such as the NY Mets and Atlanta Braves.

Philadelphia Phillies Information
  • Philadelphia Phillies are one of two Major League Baseball franchises located within the state of Pennsylvania. The other team in the state is the Pittsburgh Pirates. Both teams play in the National League.
  • The old home stadium of the Phillies was Veterans Stadium. Just next to the location of this stadium they have their new arena known as Citizens Bank Park. The park has a seating capacity of 43,500 fans. It opened on April 9, 2004 and the first baseball game was played on April 12th. It has natural grass and dirt playing field. Citizens Bank Park is built on an area of 21 acres at a cost of $346 million.
  • Philadelphia Phillies were begun as a franchise in 1883. The franchise was known as the Philadelphia Blue Jays from 1943-1944. * The Phillies have 7 Division Titles in there franchise history, making it to the National League Championship Series in 6 of those postseasons.
  • As a franchise the Phillies have made it to the World Series 5 times, and have won once. Their one World Championship coming in 1980. BUY PHILLIES TICKETS The Phillies started the season 20 games below .500 and saw their manager get fired, and saw their best player be traded away before the end of the season. Third basemen Scott Rolen was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals shortly after the All-Star Break when it became apparent that the team would not be able to keep the star infielder. The Phillies finished the season with an 80-81 record, good enough for third place. The 2003 season would be the teams last in Veterans Stadium, and expectations were high after signing free agents Jim Thome, and alter Kevin Millwood. However, the team would fail to meet these expectations going 86-76 and again missing the playoffs. The team would try to find the missing ingredient to a Division Title by acquiring Billy Wagner at the end of the season. Wagner would sit on the disabled list twice during the 2004 season, and would only appear in 45 games as a closer. Other injuries hurt the Phillies chances, as the team finished with the identical record as the season before (86-76). Jim Thome hit 42 home runs and drove in 105 runs, making his second year in Philadelphia a success.
