How many total games have the Phillies franchise lost in their history? This was my original question. I might have had better luck posting it on the Phillies faqfarm page but now that it is here, I was told just the other day that they are the first profesional sports franchise to lose 10,000 games. Anyone have proof of this? ----
As of the games through July 31, 2007, the Phillies all time record is 8820-10005. Click on the 'Franchise Records' link on this page to see all MLB teams' franchise records.
