PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — There was a time, believe it or not, when the Phillies were actually worse than how they’re currently playing.
From 1933 to 1945, the Phillies finished last, or first-to-last, for 13-straight years in the eight-team National League. In seven of those 13 years, the Phillies lost 100 or more games—which included a 111-loss season in 1941, when the team went 43-111. At least that team had Hall of Famer Chuck Klein in the twilight of his career.
The 2017 Phillies don’t appear to have any future Hall of Famers on their roster.
