I didn't have enough space in the title of this thread to qualify...."The Phillies are the longest continuous franchise (est. 1883)."
What I mean by this, is that no other team in Major League history has it's franchise NAME the same (e.g. PHILLIES) as long as the Philadelphia Phillies have (138 years).
