Classic Team Logo of The Day

08 Jun

Logo of baseball’s Philadelphia Phillies, used from 1950 until 1969. This era included the 1950 “Whiz Kids” team that won the National League pennant, led by stars like pitchers Robin Roberts and Curt Simmons and hitters like Del Ennis, Willie Jones and Richie Ashburn. It also included the infamous 1964 season when the club, managed by Gene Mauch, held a 6 1/2 game lead in the National League with 12 games to play, then proceeded to lose 10 in a row in a historic collapse known as “The Phold”. That team, despite the collapse, included some of the Phils’ best players in their long history, such as Dick Allen, Jim Bunning, Chris Short, Tony Taylor, Bobby Wine and Johnny Callison. The pitching staff also included a man who would go on to manage the Phils to a World Series title – Dallas Green.
