The
Philadelphia Phillies are a
Major League Baseball team based in
Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. They are a member of the
Eastern Division of Major League Baseball's
National League. The team has played officially under two names since beginning play in 1883: the current moniker, as well as the "
Quakers", which was used in conjunction with "Phillies" during the team's early history.[1][2] The team was also known unofficially as the "
Blue Jays" during the World War II era.[3] Since the franchise's inception, 2,081 players have made an appearance in a competitive game for the team, whether as an offensive player (
batting and
baserunning) or a defensive player (
fielding,
pitching, or both).
Johnny Lush is one of the ten Phillies pitchers who have
thrown a no-hitter, accomplishing the feat on May 1, 1906.[21] Lush also made more than 30% of his career appearances with Philadelphia as a
first baseman, batting .254 and amassing 53
extra-base hits.[22]
