Welcome to another season of Phillies baseball. (Pause for polite applause.)
After two straight years of falling short in the playoffs, the Phillies goal for 2024 is clear: Win the World Series. As any Phillies fan could tell you, that won’t be easy, because the Phillies have accomplished that feat a total of two times in their 141 seasons. But it’s been 15 years since the last time they hoisted that trophy, so they’re probably due for another one.
But we’ve got miles to cross before we can worry about the playoffs. Instead of looking ahead to October, let’s try to enjoy each game of what could be - and should be - a fun season.
