Unusual Phillies Game Facts and Trivia

Here are some fried facts (fun, random, and maybe a little crispy) about a Phillies game that’ll make you say, 'Wait, really?!'

� 1. The First Game Was in 1883… and They Lost 4-3

The Phillies are the oldest, continuous, one-name, one-city franchise in all of American pro sports. Their first game? April 22, 1883, against the Providence Grays. They lost, but hey, they’ve had over 140 years to make up for it.

🥨 2. The Phillies Once Lost 23 Games in a Row (1961)

Yep, a 23-game losing streak—still an MLB record. The silver lining? They got the #1 draft pick (though they picked… poorly).

🧀 3. The Phanatic Was Almost a Cardinal (Yes, Really)

The beloved Phillie Phanatic was designed in 1977 by the same guy who made the San Diego Chicken. The original concept? A cardinal (since the designer worked for the Cardinals first). Luckily, he switched to a fuzzy green monster.

⚾ 4. A Fan Once Caught Two Foul Balls in the Same At-Bat (2009)

At a game against the Nationals, Steve Monforto caught a foul ball, handed it to his daughter… then she immediately threw it back on the field. The next pitch? Another foul—right back to him. The crowd went nuts.

🎤 5. Harry Kalas (Legendary Announcer) Had a Secret Recording Booth in a Bar

The late, great Harry Kalas (voice of the Phillies) would record commercials at McFadden’s Bar inside Citizens Bank Park. There’s even a statue of him there now.

� 6. The 2008 World Series Trophy Was Smuggled into a Bar

After winning the 2008 World Series, Shane Victorino and Brad Lidge took the trophy to McFadden’s—by hiding it in a trash bag to avoid crowds.

🚨 7. A Game Was Once Delayed by a Squirrel (2010)

During a game against the Mets, a squirrel ran onto the field, circled the bases, and caused a 10-minute delay. The Phillies won—blaming the 'Rally Squirrel' for their victory.

🎆 8. The Longest Game in Phillies History Lasted Over 6 Hours (1993)

A 20-inning marathon against the Dodgers ended at 4:40 AM (thanks to a rain delay). Mitch Williams (the Wild Thing) pitched 5 innings in relief—then went out drinking after.

🏟️ 9. Citizens Bank Park Has a Secret Menu Item: The Schmitter

A cheesesteak-esque sandwich with grilled salami, steak, cheese, and special sauce—named after 1980s player Mike Schmidt.

🔥 10. The Phillies Once Traded a Player for a Turkey (1945)

In one of the weirdest trades ever, the Phillies sent outfielder Babe Dahlgren to the Pirates for $10,000 and… a live turkey (for the team’s Thanksgiving dinner).

Bonus Fried Fact:

The Phillies have more losses than any other pro sports team in history (over 11,000 and counting). But hey, that just means more baseball!
