Daily News | The Phillies’ World Series history, from The Inquirer photo archives
The Philadelphia Inquirer was, in fact, born about 54 years before the Philadelphia Phillies. So when it comes to the city’s baseball team, we’ve seen it all, and we have the photographs to prove it.
The Phillies have called four ballparks home since they moved into the Baker Bowl, then known as National League Park, and each of them has hosted World Series games. So The Inquirer dug into the archives for photos depicting those four ballparks and eight World Series.In their 33rd year of existence, the 1915 finally reached the World Series against the Red Sox. It would be another 35 years before the Phillies would reach the Series again, and another 30 after that before they’d finally win one. Boston won in 1915, then again in 1918, and would then go 86 years before breaking through again in 2004.
The 1950 were among the youngest teams in Major League Baseball. The 1950 Yankees were in the midst of a championship run unmatched in pro sports history -- eight Series titles in 12 years , six titles in the 1950s, and five straight .The Phillies’ core of All-Stars, led by Mike Schmidt, from the mid-1970s and into the early 1980s finally found the promised land in 1980 when they won their first World Series in six games over the Kansas City Royals.
The Phillies need to sweep the weekend in Houston to win their third World Series title. Join Inquirer Phillies writers Scott Lauber and Matt Breen as they discuss what the Phillies need to do in Game 6 on Saturday night to help make it happen.
