The Philadelphia Phillies are a Major League Baseball team based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the United States.
In their only World Series before 1950, the Phillies won Game 1 before being swept the rest of the way. The 1950 World Series matched the defending champion New York Yankees against the Philadelphia Phillies. It was 65 years before the Phillies won their next Series game. The Red Sox pitching was so strong in the '15 series that the young Babe Ruth was not used on the mound and only made a single pinch-hitting appearance. George Herman Ruth Jr (February 6 1895 &ndash August 16 1948 also popularly known as " Babe " " The Bambino " and " The Sultan of
In Game 2, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson was in attendance, making it the first time that a President watched a World Series game live.

This was one instance where each home field was very much an advantage, at least in some circumstances. Fenway Park had been open for four seasons and was fully functional in 1915, but the Red Sox "home" games were played at the brand-new Braves Field, to take advantage of its larger seating capacity. Braves Field was a Baseball park that formerly stood on Commonwealth Avenue in Boston Massachusetts. Beyond the added revenue, the long ball was affected:
- In the third inning of Game 3 at Boston, with 2 out, 1 run in, and 2 runners in scoring position, Gavvy Cravath drove a pitch deep to left field, which was caught for a harmless inning-ending out in the spacious Braves Field outfield.

Clifford Carlton "Gavvy" Cravath ( March 23 1881 - May 23 1963) also nicknamed "Cactus" was an American If the game had occurred in Fenway, or in Philadelphia's Baker Bowl, it might have been a home run or an extra-base hit, and might have turned the Series around. Baker Bowl is the best-known popular name of a Baseball park that formerly stood in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
- The Phillies had packed some extra outfield seats into their already-small ballfield. The effect was most noticeable in the decisive Game 5, in which Boston's Harry Hooper twice homered over the close-in center field fence, and Duffy Lewis followed suit. Harry Bartholomew Hooper ( August 24, 1887 &ndash December 18, 1974) was a Major League Baseball player in the early 20th century George Edward "Duffy" Lewis ( April 18, 1888 - June 17, 1979) born in San Francisco California, was a Left fielder In Braves Field, those would have been extra-base hits at best. Both of Hooper's hits, including the eventual game-winner in the top of the ninth, actually bounced over the fence, and were home runs under the rules of the day. They would be ground rule doubles today. See also List of baseball jargon gamer A player who plays particularly hard and is prone to making the right play at the right time often in big games
