Charlie Manuel has become part of their group. When the Phillies beat the Colorado Rockies at the end of July, Manuel became the fourth manager in Phillies history to lead the club to 500 wins. In so doing, Manuel joined Gene Mauch (646 wins), Harry Wright (636), and Danny Ozark (594) as Phillies skippers who have won 500 or more games. Manuel achieved his lofty status faster than the other three. He did it midway through his sixth season, just 16 days before Ozark won his 500th. Mauch, the Phillies' skipper from 1960-68, reached the milestone in his seventh season, while Wright (1884-93), managing in seasons when the schedules were considerably shorter, took nine years to get there. Now 66 and the oldest manager in team history, Manuel has led the Phillies to levels none of the other three ever did. His Phillies have gone to the World Series twice, and he is the only manager whose teams have posted 85 or more wins five straight years.

  • This Evening, I'm Proud to Share with You One of the Most Successful
    This evening, I’m proud to share with you one of the most successful partnerships in major league baseball history. A sixty•nine year relationship, the second longest in spring training history, with one of the most illustrious franchises in the sport, the Philadelphia Phillies. That partnership has proven to be an economic grand slam for the city of Clearwater and Pinellas County, with an annual, economic impact of more than one hundred million dollars. Countless sports legends have walked across Clearwater’s baseball diamonds. First, in 1947 at the Clearwater Athletic Field, then Jack Russell Stadium in 1955, Carpenter Field in 1967, now known as the Paul Owens Training Facility at Carpenter Complex, and in 2004, Bright House Networks Field, now named Bright House Field. It’s a community partnership that definitely works. When the Phillies wanted to bring some of their Minor League Teams to Clearwater, they provided the city with a no•interest, two hundred and fifty thousand dollar loan to build Carpenter Field and today the city and taxpayers continue to benefit through the Phillies leasing the city•owned Carpenter Complex for two hundred thousand dollars per year. The thirty million dollar Bright House Field became a reality through a Phillies, state, county and city partnership. The result? A year•round, economic engine that continues to serve our city and region well. The Clearwater Threshers have a local economic impact of more than ten million dollars and on April eighth they’ll welcome their two millionth fan through the turnstiles at Bright House Field. The Phillies employ more than eight hundred people in Clearwater during February and March and more than three hundred, April through September.

By Rich Westcott For The Inquirer The euphoria from the Phillies' 2008 World Series victory has yet to subside, but as spring training begins, the speculation already has started. Can the Phillies do it again? Can the team that was one of the best in Philadelphia baseball history and one that captured the hearts of the region win a second consecutive World Series championship? Will there be another parade down Broad Street? While posing that question, which the Phillies and most of their fans hope will be answered in the affirmative, let's look at what the team did in the years after its previous trips to the World Series. The Phils appeared in the Fall Classic in 1915, 1950, 1980, ERIC MENCHER / Staff Photographer 1983 and 1993. Phillies catcher Darren Daulton (right) and reliever Mitch Williams during the 1993 World Despite high expectations, there were no repeats.
