phillies

The Philadelphia Phillies are a team in the MLB (Major League Baseball) established is 1883. They have earned themselves only 2 World Series since then. For comparison, the Yankees have 27! The Phillies won there first World Series in 1980 against the Kansas City Royals in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In my opinion, the Phillies may have the best players to ever be in the MLB. One of the those players is Mike Schmidt. He came into the league when he was 22 years old on September 12, 1972, as a rookie. He was drafted to the Phillies and stayed there ever since. His career hits were 2,234 and career home runs are 548. Those are just some of his good stats throughout his career. Mike Schmidt retired on May 29, 1989. The Phillies had had a very successful franchise.
