Daily News | Took ’em long enough: Breaking down the Phillies’ road to 10,000 wins
, the team has finally joined baseball’s 10,000-win club.
Considering the organization has been around since the days following Reconstruction, it certainly took them long enough. How long? 21,278 games to be exact.Of all the teams to reach this milestone, it took the Phillies the longest, which shouldn’t come as a surprise given they were the first to 10,000 losses and have the fourth-worst winning percentage of any current franchise They were also the last team founded before 1900 to win 10,000 games.
Of the nine teams on this list, none has fewer playoff appearances or World Series titles than the Phillies, who have been to the postseason just 14 times in their 140-year history and haven’t made it in the last decade. Their last postseason appearance ended with Ryan Howard clutching his Achilles tendon along the first-base line in 2011. The Phillies have only two World Series titles, winning the first in 1980 and again in 2008.
