Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was the final regular season record of the 2008 Phillies?

Answer: 92-70

The Phillies went 92-70 in 2008 to win the National League East Division by 3 games over the New York Mets. In 2007, the Phillies went 89-73 in winning the NL East by one game over the Mets. The 1980 World Series Champion Phillies compiled a regular season record of 91-71.

2. The 2008 season saw manager Charlie Manuel's _______ season at the helm with the Phillies.

Answer: 4

Charlie began his managerial career with the Cleveland Indians, and managed them for three seasons from 2000-2002. In 2005 he took the helm of the Phillies, and took them to a 88-74 record, good enough for a second place finish in the NL East. After another second place finish in 2006, he and his Phillies finally won the division in 2007, but lost in the NLDS to the Colorado Rockies.

In 2008, they won it all under his support over the Tampa Bay Rays in the World Series.

3. How many Phillies played in the 2008 All-Star game?

Answer: 2

Second baseman Chase Utley and relief pitcher Brad Lidge were the only Phillies on the National League roster for the 2008 All-Star game. Utley went 1-for-3 at the plate, while Lidge took the loss for the National League in the 15th inning.

The Phillies hit a National League leading 214 home runs in 2008, led by Ryan Howard's league-leading 48.

6. Friday June 13, 2008, was not-so-unlucky for the Phillies, as they won by a 20-2 score. Who were their unlucky victims that day?

Answer: St. Louis Cardinals

Scoring 20 runs (including 9 in the 4th inning) behind 21 hits, including back-to-back-to-back home runs in the first inning by Chase Utley, Ryan Howard, and Pat Burrell, the Phillies routed the St. Louis Cardinals in the first of a three game set in St. Louis. Ryan Howard hit two home runs and drove in five runs to set the tone, and Kyle Kendrick picked up the win on the mound.

The Phillies would lose the next two games of this set, each by one run.

Answer: Jayson Werth

Jayson Werth hit 24 home runs in 2008, 16 off left-handed pitching to lead the Majors.

Jamie Moyer began his career in Chicago in 1986 with the Cubs, and subsequently played for the Texas Rangers, St. Louis Cardinals, Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox, and Seattle Mariners before coming home to the Philadelphia Phillies (he is a native of Souderton, PA, a Philly suburb). He had a career record of 246-185 with a 4.19 ERA in 2008.

Answer: 11

Matt made his Major League debut in 1992 with the Montreal Expos. He would go on to play for the Boston Red Sox, Oakland Athletics, Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee Brewers, Pittsburgh Pirates, Kansas City Royals, Texas Rangers, Detroit Tigers, and Toronto Blue Jays, before finally finding World Series glory with the Philadelphia Phillies.
