 | | In 1894, Delahanty was a member of an All-Hall-of-Fame outfield with Sam Thompson and "Sliding" Billy Hamilton. |
| | Because the Phils played in the Baker Bowl, an old stadium favorable to power hitters, they had their share of slugging stars, most notably Chuck Klein, who won three home run titles, including a Triple Crown in 1933 (twenty-eight home runs, one-hundred twenty-nine runs batted in,.368). |
| | After another decade of foundering near the bottom of the league, the Phils were the team to beat in 1964 behind manager Gene Mauch, pitching ace Jim Bunning (19-8, 2.63), the veteran John Callison (thirty-one home runs, one-hundred four runs batted in,.274) and newcomer Dick Allen (twenty-nine home runs, ninety-one runs batted in,.318). |
