yes. the phillies have been to the world series in 15, 50, 80, 83, and 93. they also won the pennant in 76, 77, 78 only to lose in the NLCS.

and please... don't bring up the Wild Thing.

but, you must be more precise... PHILADELPHIA teams are a disgrace. pittsburgh teams have won multiple super bowls and many stanley cups (including at least 1 in the 90s). Philly has the current longest drought of a city to not win a championship of all cities with all 4 major sports (baseball, basketball, football, hockey). last ring: 1983 Sixers. another interesting note... in 1980, all 4 philly teams went to their respective championship games. only the phillies won.

but, yea... philly sports haven't won a ring in 21 years. LETS GO EAGLES!!!!!!!!!

ps - there are 10 or 11 cities with all 4 major sports. its iffy, because if the team HAS to have the cities name (like philly or la or ny) then there are only 7 or 8, but if you include teams like the Florida Marlins, or the Carolina Panthers... or Texas Rangers... it becomes 10 or 11, because although the team name is something other than the city, they play right near the city. same with LA. they have no football team, but san diego is only 45 minutes away... does that count?
