Philadelphia Phillies Events Near Ashburn

From one of the most long-suffering teams in the National League to one of the strongest in the modern era, the Philadelphia Phillies have delivered some great plays and great stories to the City of Brotherly Love. Tickets to a Phillies game give you a chance to see a team with roots back in the 19th century and a history of can-do spirit that lights up the field.

Long Road to Victory

The Philadelphias set up shop in 1883 and got off to the ultimate slow start, winning just 2 league pennants in the next 75 years and losing the World Series both times. The team found new success after the start of the divisional era in 1969, collecting a string of division titles in the 1970s, while an all-star lineup with Steve Carlton, Mike Schmidt, and Pete Rose led the team to its first World Series win in 1980.

Since then, the Fightin’ Phils have drifted between near misses that saw them fall just short of 2 more World Series wins to a strong run in the 2000s that made them an annual playoff contender and won their second World Series in 2008.

A Heated Legacy

Over the years, the Red Pinstripes have made their presence felt in the National League, with rivalries that range from their historic cross-state contest with the Pittsburgh Pirates to their divisional jousting with the Atlanta Braves and a burning feud with the New York Mets.
