The Phillies' history has included several spans during which they played very poorly. Several years ago they became the first team to have lost 10,000 games overall.
Uniforms
The Phillies' home uniforms are white with red pinstripes and a red hat with a white cursive "P". The hat is the same for them on the road, but they wear gray pants with one red stripe and a gray shirt. They also have an alternate uniform that has a blue hat with a red "P" and cream-colored jerseys.
Postseason
In 1980, the Phillies won their first World Series. In 1993, they made it once more to the Series, but they lost to the Toronto Blue Jays. They did not make the playoffs again until 2007 when they won the National League East division championship. However, they were beaten by the Colorado Rockies in the National League Division Series. In 2008, the Phillies won their second World Series.
The Phillies became National League champions on October 23, 2022, defeating the San Diego Padres four games to one in the National League Championship Series of seven games. They were defeated by the Houston Astros of the American League in the 2022 World Series, four games to two. It was the Phillies' first appearance in a World Series game since 2009.[4]
