| 1922 | At Ebbets Field, Lee King drives in seven runs in the Phillies' 10-7 win over the Robins. The Philadelphia outfielder will collect only 15 RBIs playing with Philadelphia and the Giants this season. |
| 1946 | The Braves, playing at Fenway Park, the home of the American League's Red Sox, because the seats in their ballpark's reserved grandstand are still tacky due to wet paint, sweep a twin bill from the Phillies played at Fenway Park.

| 2010 | Phillies slugger Ryan Howard agrees to a $125 million, five-year contract extension that could keep the infielder with the team until 2017. The 30-year-old first baseman's $25-million guaranteed average salary during the new deal is the second-highest amount in the major leagues, trailing behind only Alex Rodriguez's ten-year contract with the Yankees, which averages $27.5 million per season. |
