The Philadelphia Phillies are the oldest continuous, one-name, one-city franchise in all of professional American sports, dating all the way back to 1883. The original name for the team in the 1800's was the Quakers, this was then changed in 1883 to the Philadelphians and subsequently shortened to the Phillies.
The main rival for the Phillies are the NY Mets and it is said to be one of the hottest rivalries in professional baseball. (Mr. Rosemary Lane is a staunch Mets fan.)
The mascot for the Phillies is the ever so funny Phillies Phantatic. He was introduced to the Philadelphia fans in April of 1978. The creation of the Phantaic has ties with Muppet's creator Jim Hensen. (I can totally get that!)
