The Philadelphia Phillies, founded in 1883, are the oldest professional, one-name, one-city franchise in American sports and have called Citizens Bank Park home since 2004. Competing in the National League East, they have captured World Series titles in 1980 and 2008, along with eight National League pennants, and notably were the last of the 16 pre-expansion teams to win a championship. Since the Divisional Era began in 1969, they've emerged as an MLB powerhouse with 16 playoff appearances and 13 division titles, including five straight from 2007 to 2011. Interestingly, the team was the first American sports franchise to reach 10,000 losses, yet they've also surpassed 10,000 wins—a testament to their remarkable longevity. Their legacy is highlighted by 33 Hall of Famers, with third baseman Mike Schmidt widely celebrated as the franchise's greatest player. The team's farm system features affiliates like the Lehigh Valley IronPigs and Reading Fightin Phils, while spring training takes place in Clearwater, Florida.
