The talent on that team was legendary. Schmidt, Carlton, Perez, Morgan, Rose. But with many of the key players in their upper thirties or early forties, the baseball pundits mocked the Phillies crew. Geritol instead of Gatorade. The Big Dead Machine. You want a dynasty? How about the Ming Dynasty. Finally, the Phillies front office settled on a nickname they could get behind. “The Wheeze Kids.” But how did this collection of baseball royalty fair in Philadelphia’s Centennial Season?

Giving away Lonnie Smith and Ryne Sandburg was huge. We would have kept winning.

And Julio Franco, Keith Moreland, Larry Bowa would have been better to have than Ivan dejesus. Let Bob Boone go who had about another productive decade left. The Pope had built the Phillies in the seventies and then for some reason let it all fall to pieces in the early 80’s . It’s very sad to think that the Phillies could have been a very competitive team throughout the last decade of the greatest third baseman in history’s career.

Manny Trillo had broken an MLB record for chances at 2nd base - Phils trade him. Mike Krukow stays one year - traded to Giants and wins 20 games. 1st baseman: The Phils had Al Oliver - a perennial .300 hitter, traded mid-season. Willie Montanez and Bill Robinson could have been a part of this old team also. Lastly, I recall a superb hitter named Ron Jones who sadly had a career ending injury.

Lonnie Smith won wherever he went. Won World Series titles with the Phils, Cardinals, and Royals and nearly won one with the Braves.

@@scottaw666 Pump the brakes, dude. Your only good point was trading Trillo (as well as Julio Franco) for Von Hayes in the 5-for-1 deal, that was indeed idiotic. But--Mike Krukow was traded for Al Holland and Joe Morgan, key players on that team, did you not want them? Al Oliver was picked up in '84 and was pretty much done, '85 was his last year. Willie Montanez was traded for Garry Maddox, did you want to forfeit his time with the Phillies? Bill Robinson is a fair point, that was a dumb trade as well, but he was done by '83. You need to do some research before you just go throwing around names.

The 1983 Phillies were an extension of the Big Red Machine with Tony Perez, Joe Morgan, and Pete Rose, key pieces of the 1970s Cincinnati Reds Dynasty.

@kevinevans5921 9 ай бұрын

Being from Maryland the Orioles were my favorite team, the Phillies were my second favorite and I attended games at both Memorial and Veterans Stadium. 1983 was the perfect year in baseball for me.

@imQurnot Ай бұрын

September 83 has so many memories for me. First, I share a birthday with Joe Morgan, so I definitely remember that September 19th performance. I remember the Phillies were 1-11 versus the Dodgers that year, which made the NLCS that much more remarkable. And Len Matuszak probably had his best month as a Phillie.

Thank goodness for Kiko Garcia and other unlikely heroes - Hudson, Gross, Lefebvre - keeping the team afloat while some of the Phillie veterans struggled

What's funny is that both the Phils and Orioles went downhill after the 1983 WS. The O's got back sooner, though (in 1989, they missed out on the AL East on the next to last day). It took the Phils ten years to make the playoffs after this.

And another 15 years after that.

Your anti-Rose bias shows once again. Rose's "inconsistency" in the 1983 WS was 0-4 in game 2, and 0-1 pinch-hitting in game 3. Rose was 4-for-7 the rest of the way, hitting .313 in the WS, and he hit .375 in the NLCS, far outperforming his best friend & teammate Joe Morgan.

I was worried about playing the Dodgers in the NLCS. Weren't they 11-1 against us with some dominant pitching?

@steveswangler6373 Жыл бұрын

“Most of the core had moved on…” They didn’t move on so much as were pushed out. Several players were jettisoned for being “too old” yet the Phillies brought in Morgan and Perez. And never forget how Dallas green went to Chicago and raped our farm system. Look at the cubs 1984 pennant winners and count the players from our system. If not for green destroying our farm system, and stupid trades like the 541, the Phillies would have kept fighting for the division for at least the first part of the decade. And remember, you actually had to earn a playoff berth back then, not like last year’s(2022) team

@Rockhound6165 3 ай бұрын

Outside of Julio Franco who did we trade in the 5-for-1? Jay Baller? George Vukovich? Jerry Willard? Didn't really give up much and only in hindsight did the trade look stupid. Would have been nice to have kept Franco considering the guy was a freaking cyborg playing until he was almost 50. And last year(2022) team did go to the World Series. You're complaining about that?

Bill Giles was the GM of the Phils which perhaps his created ego may had cost them the world series which for the next 25 years they would finally win one which to date it's their 2nd world series title.

@steveswangler6373 Жыл бұрын

Paul Owens was the GM, not Bill Giles. And how would a GM cost a team a World Series they were playing in? A mid series trade?

Mike Schmidt's horrible slump cost Philly the most in the World Series.

Thank you!!!!! You are the man!!!!! Very interesting year 1983. The Phils turned over a huge portion of their roster and managed to win the Pennant, changing managers along the way, that has to be unique in MLB history. Despite their age, the lineup had some decent talent. They may have been the "Wheeze Kids" but the young guys on the pitching staff contributed as well. It's true in any sport if a team gets hot at the end of the year and makes the playoffs, they can ride that wave to big things. I Was hoping for something like that with this years 2021 Phils, but alas it wasn't meant to be. 1983 ends up being Cal Ripken Jr's only World Series victory. Looks like the Oriole's pitching staff was the big factor in their victory. Thank you so much for telling this story! As I write this, a few days after the 2021 Phils were eliminated, I hope you enjoyed the season despite the heartaches it provided. Many question marks going into the offseason with the multiple aging Veterans in the field, but a few bright spots in the starting rotation. I'm really looking forward to watching Ranger Suarez. As we say all too often here in Philly, maybe next year!

The orioles in 1983 were far superiors than the Phillies. The better team won. Back in the two league four divisions era, 90 wins was good enough to win the division maybe a third of the time.
