Major League Baseball season March 2026 November 2013 Philadelphia Phillies 1969 National League East Connie Mack Stadium Philadelphia R. R. M. Carpenter, Jr. John J. Quinn Bob Skinner, George Myatt WFIL WCAU(By Saam, Bill Campbell, Richie Ashburn) The 1969 Philadelphia Phillies season was the 87th season in the history of the franchise, and the 32nd season for the Philadelphia Phillies at Connie Mack Stadium. The team finished fifth in the newly established National League East with a record of 63–99, thirty-seven games behind the division champion New York Mets, which went on to defeat Baltimore, four games to one, in the World Series. It was also the Phillies' penultimate season at Connie Mack Stadium. The franchise was scheduled to move into Veterans Stadium for 1970, but lengthy construction delays caused by poor weather and labor strikes forced the Phillies to return to the corner 21st and Lehigh Avenue for one more season. Offseason October 14, 1968: 1968 MLB expansion draft Larry Jackson was drafted from the Phillies by the Montreal Expos as the 23rd pick.Larry Jackson at Baseball Reference Jackson retired rather than report to the Expos.

Dick Allen was suspended by the team for a month after missing a game against the New York Mets. Claiming that Allen was undermining him by going directly to owner R. R. M. Carpenter, Jr., manager Bob Skinner surprised the club by resigning on August 6. Skinner blasted the club for their handling of Allen and blamed Allen for the team's losing saying, "Allen has been a big factor in our losing and there is very definitely disharmony on the club." Skinner was replaced by coach George Myatt.Lee Linder Bob Skinner resigns post with Phillies https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=68IUAAAAIBAJ&pg=5495,1550797&dq=phillies Eugene Register-Guard August 7, 1969 September 17, 2009 October 2026 InternetArchiveBot Allen was then traded from the club after the season. In addition to the turmoil in the clubhouse, the Phillies had expected that 1969 would be their final season at Connie Mack Stadium with an April 1970 opening planned for Veterans Stadium. Construction delays pushed the Vet's opening to April 1971. At Connie Mack Stadium on April 17, 1969, Montreal Expos pitcher Bill Stoneman threw a no-hitter against the Phillies. It was Stoneman's fifth major league start and only the ninth game of the Expos' existence.Associated Press Stoneman of Expos Hurls No-Hitter to Beat Phils, 7–0 https://select.nytimes.com/mem/archive/pdf?res=F00B11FD345D137A93CAA8178FD85F4D8685F9 The New York Times April 18, 1969 August 28, 2009 In conjunction with Major League Baseball's celebration in 1969 of the 100th anniversary of professional baseball, the Phillies conducted a fan vote to determine their all-time team.
