Cliff Lee threw a complete game against the Giants in his Phillies debut 14 years ago today.
He posted a 1.56 ERA for the Phillies in five postseason starts in 2009.
Jimmy Rollins capped off his MVP season with his 20th triple 15 years ago today. He became only the fourth player in MLB history to join the 20-20-20-20 club.
Oh, and the Phillies won the NL East as the “team to beat.”
Jimmy Rollins became the fourth player in MLB history to hit at least 20 home runs, 20 doubles, 20 triples and steal 20 bases in a single season

in 2007.
Rollins’ 20th triple of the season came on the day the Phillies clinched the NL East.
Thank you to

Welcome to Philly, Aidan!

12 years ago today, fans at Citizens Bank Park chanted “USA” during Phillies-Mets on Sunday Night Baseball. It was the only sporting event in progress as news broke out that Osama Bin Laden was dead.
Ryan Howard hit career home run No. 100 in his 325th career game, becoming the fastest player ever to reach that mark
#OTD
in 2007.
This one was a 505-foot moonshot.
The Phantoms won the Calder Cup
#OTD
in 2005.
Led by Mike Richards and Jeff Carter, the Phantoms are still the only Philadelphia sports team to clinch a championship at the Wells Fargo Center.
One of the best at-bats you’ll see happened 11 years ago today.
On the seventh pitch, Ryan Howard drilled a hanger from Kyle Lohse into the seats for a three-run home run on the way to a game one win over St. Louis.
The Phillies acquired Cliff Lee and Ben Francisco in a blockbuster trade with Cleveland

Joe come by our store at 13th and Walnut tmrw between 10-3. Won’t make up for the missed game but we’d love to hook you up with some Flyers gear.
The Phillies acquired Matt Stairs in a trade with the Toronto Blue Jays
#OTD
in 2008.
All he did was hit one of the greatest home runs in Phillies history.
The Eagles converted on a 4th and 26 against the Packers 18 years ago today.
The pass from McNabb to Mitchell set up a game-tying field goal from David Akers.
A Brian Dawkins interception and return in OT along with another Akers kick won it.
On this day in 1990 the Philadelphia Phillies retired Mike Schmidt's number 20. Schmidt played his entire career with the Phillies from 1972-89. Schmidt played in 2,404 games, hit 548 HRs and 1,595 RBIs.

Forget likable, there’s perhaps never been a more lovable team in Philly sports history than Utley, J-Roll, Howard, Victorino, Chooch, and Lidge. I truly enjoy the current team but what the hell are these guys talking about?
Hugh and Joe agree that this Phillies group is more "likable" than the 2007-11 teams:
"There’s just something about this group that connects differently with the fanbase"
Philly is full of angry, joyless mutants. They are a miserable lot defined by their sports teams because that's all they have. So yeah they bring the noise. Ya won't hear a

fan screaming F-bombs. We have passionate fans in ATL, but we're better people with better lives.
