The Philadelphia Phillies are a Major League Baseball team in the National League East. They play in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies were founded in 1883. Their manager is Rob Thomson,[2] and their general manager is Sam Fuld.[3] The Phillies were named for the city Philadelphia, which is often called "Philly", and have kept their name and city for over 125 years.
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.
