Philadelphia Phillies history

Openings in the eight-team National League appeared after Worcester and Troy dropped out following the 1882 season. At its meeting in Providence on December 7, 1882, the league approved a new club for Philadelphia, which started play in 1883. It has kept the Phillies name the entire time, a rare thing in baseball.

Two World Series titles have come, against Kansas City in 1980 and Tampa Bay in 2008, along with eight pennants, the first in 1915. The team has moved around the city over the years, from Recreation Park to the Baker Bowl, Shibe Park and Veterans Stadium, and and since 2004 Citizens Bank Park in the South Philadelphia Sports Complex, which seats 42,901.
