Yes. The Phillies have 2 World Series victories, the first being in the 1980 Series over the Kansas City Royals. The second occured on October 29, 2008 when the Phillies defeated the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 5 for a 4-1 Series win and their second world championship. The Phillies also made the World Series in 1915, 1950, 1983, and 1993 but lost each time.
The Phillies have been to the world series 5 times before this year against the rays which makes 6. They lost to the Red Sox in 1915, Yankees in 1950, than finally won one in 1980 against the Royals, lost to the orioles in 1983, and again to the blue jays in 1993. so the simple answer is yes.
