The Phillies finished in sixth place in the National League East for the second consecutive season. It would also be Mike Schmidt's final season.

After a poor start to the 1989 season, Schmidt chose to suddenly announce his retirement in San Diego, on May 29. Known as "Captain Cool" by many in Philadelphia sports circles, Schmidt surprised many with an emotional, and occasionally tearful, retirement speech. In honor of his career, fans voted Schmidt to the NL All-Star team; Schmidt declined to play but was announced with the team. His last game was May 28, 1989, against the San Francisco Giants.http://www.baseball-almanac.com/box-scores/boxscore.php?boxid=198905280SFN Box Score of Game played on Sunday, May 28, 1989 at Candlestick Park The Phillies played 163 regular season games due to a tie game on June 5 when they hosted the Pittsburgh Pirates. With the score tied 3–3, the game ended due to rain after only 8 innings had been played. Under the playing rules in place at the time, all player and team statistics generated during the tie game would stand (except since neither team had won, there could not be a winning or losing pitcher); a replacement game would be played at a later date. This game would mark the last regular-season tie game for the Phillies as playing rules changed in 2007 allowing tie games to continue from the point of interruption at a later date. On June 8, 1989, Steve Jeltz hit two of his five career home runs in a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, despite not starting the game. A switch-hitter, Jeltz hit one of these homers from the right side of the plate and one from the left side. This was the first time in the history of the Phillies that this feat had been accomplished. It was in this same game that, after the Pirates scored 10 runs in the top of the first, Pirate broadcaster Jim Rooker said on-air, "If we lose this game, I'll walk home." The Phillies came back to win 15–11, and after the season Rooker conducted a 300-mile charity walk from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh. 95pxSteveCarltonLHPRetired 1989http://philadelphia.phillies.mlb.com/phi/history/phi_history_carlton.jsp The Official Site of The Philadelphia Phillies: History: Steve Carlton June 30, 2008 May 25, 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20110525071608/http://philadelphia.phillies.mlb.com/phi/history/phi_history_carlton.jsp dead Season standings Philadelphia Phillies Record vs. opponents PHI Notable transactions June 1, 1989: Shane Turner was traded by the Phillies to the Baltimore Orioles for John Posey (minors).Shane Turner at Baseball Reference June 2, 1989: Chris James was traded by the Phillies to the San Diego Padres for John Kruk and Randy Ready.John Kruk at Baseball Reference June 18, 1989: Juan Samuel was traded by the Phillies to the New York Mets for Lenny Dykstra, Roger McDowell and a player to be named later.
