About this book

The Phillies were experiencing what was the longest championship drought in professional baseball history at the start of the 1980s, 97 years since the team was founded and 70 years since the inception of the World Series. The Phillies registered five winning seasons in the last 5 years of the 1970s, but a playoff victory had proven elusive despite winning the NL East Division in three of them. The team had never won one in their history, with World Series defeats in 1915 and 1950. 1980 finally brought them some success, when MVP Mike Schmidt would lead the team to a 4-2 World Series victory over the Royals. Eventually, the Phillies would win five Division titles in a row between 2007 and 2011, and claimed their second World Series title in 2008.

This Phillies history book is filled with Washington Post articles, reporting on the team from the city of brotherly love, and the memorable games in their history.

The Baseball History of Philadelphia Phillies Washington Post Edition FAQs

Each of our orders is printed on demand, made special just for you and the reader you’ve created it for! Typically, it takes 1-3 days for our workshops to receive, make, and finally hand each order over to the postal carriers for delivery.

Are the pages real, or reproductions of newspapers?

The pages are scans of original newspaper pages. Every effort has been made to clean up scans to make them as clear as possible. In some instances there will be blemishes and the reproduction quality may not be as clear or precise as copying directly from the actual papers itself.
