Philadelphia Phillies Tickets

As the 2008 season begins, fans with tickets to Philadelphia Phillies games at Veterans Stadium are hoping the team will continue to improve, following their 2006 and 2007 third place finishes with even higher rankings, and maybe even winning that elusive World Series title again!

The Philadelphia Phillies joined the National League in 1883 and immediately disappointed those hoping for a strong showing, losing 81 of 98 games in their first season. Fans were not encouraged over the next few years, as the Philadelphia Phillies put for a disappointing effort for the remainder of the nineteenth century, and well into the twentieth.

Although Philadelphia Phillies games were largely efforts in futility as the team lost game after game, some of baseball’s greatest players played for the Phillies in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, including outfielder Sam Thompson, Billy Hamilton, Big Ed Delahanty, and Elmer Flick.

From 1919 to 1947, the Philadelphia Phillies came in last in the league an amazing twenty-four out of twenty-nine seasons! Although many fans gave up on the team, die hard Philadelphia Phillies fans still bought tickets for Philadelphia Phillies games, hoping to be there to witness their turnaround. In 1950, their patience finally paid off when the Philadelphia Phillies finally won a pennant and advanced to the World Series. Although the Phillies lost to the powerful New York Yankees, it seemed the team was finally starting to find their groove.

The 1970s were the Phillies’ greatest decade. They managed to win the National League title in 1976, 1977, and 1978, although the World Series title was still out of reach, until 1980, when the Philadelphia Phillies finally won their first title against the Royals. In 1983, thanks in large part to players Pete Rose, Tug McGraw, Steve Carlton, and Joe Morgan, the Philadelphia Phillies once again headed to the World Series, where the team faced off, and lost to, the Baltimore Orioles.

After the 1983 Series, the Philadelphia Phillies went into a time of transition, losing key players and struggling to build a stronger team. In 1993, the team won their fifth National League title, but once again were beat out in the World Series.
