The Philadelphia Phillies are the oldest team with the same name and same city.. That means that they haven’t change anything since 1889. The only other name they had were the Quakers. Philadelphia Phillies are members of the National League East Division. The other teams in that division are the Braves, Nationals, Mets, and Marlins. Last year the Philadelphia Phillies finished last in that division with a record of 63 and 99. That means that they won .389 percent of their games. For a MLB team that is really really bad. The Philadelphia Phillies were not even good enough to make a wildcard game. Their first season was in 1883. That season they only won 17 games. This was the worst record of any team that year. This shows that losing has always been part of the Philadelphia Phillies history. The Philadelphia Phillies have won 2 World Series. The last one they won was in 2008. This year the Philadelphia Phillies did not make it to the Postseason. To be truthful I don’t see the Philadelphia Phillies making it to the postseason in the near future. I don’t even think they will win more than 60 games this year. This is because the Philadelphia Phillies don’t have good young players. The only reason they won the World Series in 2008 was because they had veteran players. Over time the Philadelphia Phillies will get better by giving their players more experience. Another way the can get better is by trading their good players for younger ones who have room to improve.
