The Philadelphia Phillies came into being back in 1883, and they've been based in the City of Brotherly Love ever since. In the very early years, the team was alternatively known as the Quakers and the Philadelphias (informally shortened to “Phillies”). The Phillies officially settled on their current name in 1890. They were one of the "Classic Eight" National League teams.
The Phillies won their first NL pennant in 1915, but lost the ensuing World Series to the Boston Red Sox, four games to one. The Phillies wouldn’t make their return to the Fall Classic until 1950 (in another losing effort). But between these two World Series appearances, the team did field some notable players, like the powerful slugger Chuck Klein, later a Hall of Fame inductee.
The team’s fortunes began to change for the better in the mid ’70s, as they captured several NL East titles. The Phillies’ third World Series, in 1980, finally paid off for them. After decades of frustration, they won their first Commissioner's Trophy by beating the Kansas City Royals in six games. They were the last of the original 16 MLB teams to win a World Series title. It wasn’t the only time they would taste glory, however: a second World Series championship came in 2008 when they defeated the Tampa Bay Rays in 5 games.
