Hope to get to get some revenge for NY’s sweep of the 1950 Whiz Kids. I’m still trying to fathom two pennants in a row...that just doesn’t happen in Philly!

How many N.L. pennants have the Phillies won? I think just a few, 1950, 1980 (World Series victory), 1983, 1993, and last year’s World Series victory. They may have won the fewest pennants or World Series of any of baseball’s original 16 franchises.

The only National League teams to win consecutive World Series were the 1907-08 Chicago Cubs, the 1921-22 New York Giants, and the 1975-76 Cincinnati Reds. So we could be seeing some more history with these Phillies.
