It’s been more than a decade, since the Phillies were in the World Series and that’s why we’re taking a look at their history. That’s to say, how many times have they been to the fall classic and many times have they won it?

The Phillies are back in the big time

With their 4-3 Sunday night win over the San Diego Padres, the Philadelphia Phillies booked their place in the 2022 MLB World Series. Indeed, the Phillies came from behind in Game 5 of the NLCS to clinch the National League’s pennant and the chance to face the Houston Astros who swept the New York Yankees over in the ALCS. The win, is yet another punctuation point on what has been an ever-improving performance by the Phillies across the postseason. Though they were the last team to make it in to the playoffs, the Phillies have simply got better and better as they’ve gone on and now, they’ve got a shot at winning baseball’s biggest prize. With that said, let’s take a look at their post season history.

What’s the Phillies’ World Series history look like?

Neutrals and fans alike were probably hoping for a Phillies vs Yankees matchup in the world series, but the Houston Astros ended that dream without any hesitation on Sunday night when they defeated the pin stripes. If you’re wondering why fans would’ve hope for that, it’s because that’s the team the Phillies lost to - in six games - the last time they were in the World Series, back in 2009. It would have been something to see the two teams playing against each other 13 seasons later. Alas it was not meant to be. As for how many times the Phillies have been to the World Series and how many times they’ve won it, we can tell you they’ve got a 2-5 record, but take a look below for the full breakdown:
