They seem to have gone from a middling .500 club to a playoff contender. Yes, I'm excited.

1950 "Whiz Kids" team. The Phillies are the longest continuous franchise (est. 1883)

Hi Steve Thanx for posting your 1950 BOWMAN card of Dick Sisler. It brings back very fond memories from my youth. Furthermore, at age 9, I had this strange predilection for Baseball cards with Light Towers depicted on them.   TED Z T206 Reference . Last edited by tedzan; 08-09-2021 at 10:41 PM.

Sisler home run
Ted, I love the Ashburn reference, he is the only modern player I collect.
Here is a photo of Sisler’s home run. Ashburn was on first and can be seen running to second. He also threw out Cal Abrahms at the plate to save the game.

I love the cards and Ted's posts, and I don't want to make this into one of those argumentative threads, but wouldn't the Braves and Cubs be considered longer continuous franchises, having been charter NL teams in 1876? And if you count the NA, wouldn't the Braves (as the Red Stockings) be the longest running team?

Michael 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). TED Z T206 Reference .

Yes

Just a quick follow up, as I also do not want to hijack any threads. I believe you are correct - the Braves and Cubs go back to 1876 (1871 for the Braves if counting the NA). St. Louis, Pittsburgh, and Cincinnati were all established in 1882 (according to baseball-reference). Now, interestingly, Ted's point is valid that the Phillies are the oldest (tied with Cincinnati) if you consider the same city and team name (no changes) through their history: Philadelphia Phillies - since 1890 (were previously called the Quakers) Cincinnati Reds - since 1890 (were called the Red Stockings, Redlegs) Pittsburgh Pirates - since 1891 (were called the Alleghenys) St. Louis Cardinals - since 1900 (were called the Browns, Perfectos) Chicago Cubs - since 1903 (were called the Orphans, Colts, White Stockings) Atlanta Braves - since 1966 (moved from Milwaukee and Boston before that)

Great info, thanks. I would post another card, but Ennis is the only Whiz Kid I have!

Here is a nice team photo of the 1950 Philadelphia Phillies, The Whiz Kids. Kind of like the 1951 Giants and the 1959 White Sox, probably as popular or perhaps even more so than the team that won the Series.

Thanks for posting the photos. Here is my photo of Richie "doing his thing" by placing down a drag-bunt. It was a guaranteed hit, since he was the fastest guy getting to 1st base.....exactly 3.0 seconds. When I had Richie autograph this photo, I asked him if he was the fastest guy in the Major's getting to 1st base ? And, like the fine gentleman, which he was, he said NO ! He replied...... "At the beginning of every season, the Sports media would time him and Mickey Mantle (batting Left-handed). Both of them ran to 1st base in exactly 3.0 seconds, each."  TED Z T206 Reference .

Loved growing up with Richie as a broadcaster. Wish I was old enough to see him as a player as he was my dads favorite.
One of my favorite moments with Ashburn as a broadcaster was during a game (can't remember the particular year) where the Phils pitchers were so bad that he remarked to his partner Harry Kalas that "the pitching coach is making so many trips to the mound that they're going to have to issue him frequent flyer miles"!

Continuing with the Ace pitchers of the 1950 Whiz Kids, we have Robin Roberts and Curt Simmons. What has always puzzled me
about this set is that Jim Konstanty is not featured in it. As many of you old Phillies fans remember Konstanty was a tremendous Relief pitcher. Jim pitched in an amazing 74 games that season. His W - L record was 16 - 7. And, he led the NL with 22 Saves. September 1950 Philadelphia Inquirer team set  TED Z T206 Reference .
