Girardi took over for the Phillies when they were in trouble. Now they're in the playoffs.

Dave Dombrowski is the head of the Philadelphia Phillies. He went to high school and college in Illinois and Western Michigan. Dave got the job with the White Sox after meeting Roland Hemond at the MLB winter meetings.

The Philadelphia Phillies owner's box is called John S. Middleton's.

John's great-grandpa started a tobacco company in the 1850's. He grew the company over the next decades. In 1994, John bought a 15% stake in Philadelphia Phillies for $18M. John has been there ever since and owns 48% of the team.

Bryce Harper, J.T. Realmuto and Kyle Schwarber are the top three players on the baseball field.

The Philadelphia Phillies are the team with the best starting pitchers.

Brandon Marsh is a player to watch for the Philadelphia Phillies. He is one of those gamer players that can get red hot for a weekend under the bright lights. He looks like a complete Philadelphia Eagles fan.

Philadelphia Phillies are a team that has been through a lot of shit this season. They have a lethal 1-2 starting pitcher combo and a blank canvas for Bryce Harper to paint his October masterpiece.

Bryce hasn't been himself since coming back from injury.

Quintana is going to be in control if he takes the bait early.

The Philadelphia Phillies can win the World Series if Bryce Harper plays to the best of his ability and the two pitchers throw 3 no hitters each.
