From the brand: REPRODUCTION OF THE 1949 TEAM JACKET WORN BY THE PHILLIES
History:
After ousting Ben Chapman as manager, (notorious for his vicious heckling of Jackie Robinson in 1947) Philadelphia's fortunes in the National League standings started to change. A respectable third-place finish in 1949 was followed by a pennant in 1950. After 1949, the Phils started to eclipse the Athletics, with whom they shared Shibe Park. The once-mighty A's would be gone in a few short years, and it would take the Phillies another 30 years to earn their next pennant.
