If history is your thing, then the Philadelphia Phillies are your team. Founded in 1883 in the same city that saw the creation of the United States Constitution, the Phillies are the oldest single-city, single-name franchise in all of American professional sports. Highs and Lows The Phillies joined the National League in 1883 (along with the New York Gothams, who later became the San Francisco Giants), but they did not have a permanent home stadium until they moved into Baker Bowl four years later. And though the team played hard, led by the standout play of Billy Hamilton, Sam Thompson, and Ed Delahanty, it was not until 1915 that the Phillies would win their first pennant race. But then hard times fell again, and the team recorded only one winning season between 1915 and 1948. Another bright spot in Phillies history appeared in 1950 when they won another National League championship, but it wasn’t until 1980 that things really started to pick up for the team. That year, the Phillies won the East Division title, the National League Pennant, and their first-ever World Series Title. They have since won seven more division titles (including five in a row from 2007 to 2011), four more NL Pennants, and one more World Series Championship.
