2009 Philadelphia Phillies

Even as we say “Congratulations” to the New York Yankees, winners of the 2009 MLB World Series, we want to say a big “Thank you” to the Philadelphia Phillies, winners of the National League Championship Series, for the phenomenal season they had!

Philadelphia Phillies’ fans were over the moon when they beat the Tampa Bay Rays in the 2008 World Series, bringing home their first World Series title in over 20 years. So what’s in store for the 2009 season? GM Pat Gillick retired, though he will stay on as an advisor to the team, and former assistant GM, Ruben Amaro, Jr., has taken his place. Amaro jumped into his new role with both feet, letting Pat Burrell leave for the Tampa Bay Rays, picking up left-fielder Raul Ibanez from the Seattle Mariners, and adding pitcher Chan Ho Park from the Los Angeles Dodgers to increase rotation depth. The Phillies are starting out the 2009 season as favorites for the division title (at the very least), and fans are snapping up tickets to Citizens Bank Park at a breathless pace. Get your 2009 Philadelphia Phillies tickets now and help cheer your team on to another World Series win!

Origins

Founded in 1883 the Philadelphia Phillies are the oldest continuous, one-name, one-city franchise in all professional sports. Throughout their long history, the Phillies have seen 32 Hall of Famers wear the big red P on their chest. Among the best known are 3 time MVP Mike Schmidt and four time Cy Young winner Steve Carlton. Those 2 players also led the Phillies to their only World Series title in 1980. Tug McGraw became a city hero when he recorded the final out to beat the Kansas City Royals.

Citizens Bank Park

The Phillies moved into a brand new stadium in 2004. Citizens Bank Park, their new baseball only stadium, is a jewel in South Philadelphia. The new stadium is a welcome change from the old multipurpose Veterans Stadium the team shared with the NFL’s Eagles from 1971 to 2003. Firmly at home in their new stadium, the Phillies won the National League East in 2007 and the World Series in 2008. With a talented core of players and the leadership of manager Charlie Manuel, the Phillies expect to compete for years to come.
