25 Least Exhilarating Summers in Philadelphia Phillies History

At this point in the season last year, heading down to Citizens Bank Park to check out the Philadelphia Phillies was at the top of the list for fans’ summer plans.

Now, they’d rather take a nap. It’s been that kind of season.

Sure, the Phillies have their excuses, but at the end of the day fans don’t care about excuses. They care about having a team in the postseason hunt and getting ready to gear up for October baseball. But there will be no October baseball for the Phillies after this summer.

There was no big name, All-Star addition at the trade deadline. Instead, they sent a pair of former All-Stars packing: Shane Victorino and Hunter Pence.

But in a funny, peculiar kind of way, Phillies fans should find some kind of comfort in knowing that as sad as this season has been for the Phillies, it isn’t the saddest by far. It’s not even in the top 25.

So if you’re looking for a reason to cheer up, here is what I can do for you. Take a look at this history of the least exciting seasons in Phillies history and be thankful that it isn’t this bad.
