Arthur was President of the United States. The Phillies were originally known as the Philadelphia Quakers, but they were renamed the Phillies in 1890. Despite some outstanding seasons, the Phillies did not achieve first place until 1915, when they lost to the Red Sox in the World Series, four games to one.</p><p>In 1932, Phillies outfielder Chuck Klein won the NL MVP award, and the following year, he claimed the elusive Triple Crown. Despite having some good players on the team, the Phillies wouldn’t win the NL Pennant again until 1950, with pitcher Jim Konstanty winning the NL MVP that same year. However, the Phillies had the misfortune of facing the powerhouse New York Yankees in the World Series and lost four games to zero.</p><p>From 1951 to 1975, the Phillies experienced just nine winning seasons and no pennants. One of the few highlights was when pitcher Steve Carlton won the Cy Young Award in 1972. However, that would all change in 1976.</p><p>You can read the <a href="https://sportshistorynetwork.com/baseball/mlb/philadelphia-phillies-1976-to-1980" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">full blog post here</a>.</p><p><strong><u>YESTERDAY'S SPORTS BACKGROUND</u></strong></p><p>Host Mark Morthier grew up in New Jersey just across the river from New York City during the 1970s, a great time for sports in the area.
