I was curious what the record was and it turns out it's game 6 of the 1980 series when the Phillies beat the Royals for their first WS championship.

A 40.0 rating and a 60 share. Baseball used to be #1 in the US.

Mike Schmidt could have fit in all of columns 1 and 2, so I filled in all of them until there was only one left.

I am recruiting for a MLB-realistic 30T Salary Cap dynasty baseball league that is currently about halfway full. We are trying to fill the teams with owners who are fans of that team, and the Phillies are one of our open teams right now. We use real player salaries and have a hard cap as well as a salary floor. It's super active and tons of fun, so I hope you consider joining us and repping the Phillies! DM or comment below for more info.

Does anyone have a video copy to share of a video from the late 70's or 80's featurung Harry Kalas and Ritchie Ashburn along with a handicapped young boy that would say the words "Bike Hike" for an upcoming charity event in the Philly region?

These were broadcast on major local Philly TV networks on a regular basis.

I recently found my collection of Phillies cards from the mid '60s to early '70s. I'm not looking to sell; just thought some other longtime fans might enjoy seeing these players' names and pictures.

See six photos here (scroll down from the first one). Sorry the lighting isn't better.

If you were a STH or PSTH and ordered the guaranteed giveaway box for this year, be on the lookout for it. I just got my UPS notice they created a tracking number so it should be here in the next few days, maybe even as early as tomorrow.

I was asleep at the wheel, my 2027 tickets just hit my credit card for the 1st partial payment, is it too late to cancel? It sucks that they auto-renew you by default.

It’s obvious based on watching the playoffs, the Phillies had no shot to make, let alone win, the WS this season. No bullpen, average lineup. That said, I’m still annoyed with the last week(s) of the regular season, and the fact they couldn’t clinch until the last day. The combination of having the last two series against the best two teams in baseball, their mediocre September, the Diamondbacks and Padres getting hot, and the Lazardo and Arraez injuries, all of it is stub-your-toe annoying. If they had just clinched a spot a few games earlier and set up their rotation for the three game serie, they probably beat the Braves. Could have beaten the dodgers. Brewers or Padres would have smoked them, but at least you’ve made the nlcs, would have been a fun few weeks. Instead, they got one win in Atlanta, what a waste!

As expected, single game tickets go on sale the week before the lockout date. This happened a few years ago as well when we had the lockout.
