The Philadelphia Phillies
 PROFILE
The Philadelphia Phillies have turned losing into an art form. The Phillies have lost more baseball games (9,496 between 1883 and 2000) than any other team in MLB history and have won only five National League pennants in 118 years. The past 25 years, during which Hall of Famers Mike Schmidt and Steve Carlton and current manager Larry Bowa led the Phillies to their only World Series championship (1980), have been the most successful by far for the franchise. Philadelphia approved new financing for a $1 billion project to replace the city's aging Veterans Stadium; the plan also includes a new facility for the Eagles football team. One of six partners, chairman Bill Giles owns a controlling interest in the Phillies.
