1969 Philadelphia Phillies season

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.^[1] Jackson retired rather than report to the Expos. Bobby Wine was sent to the Expos as compensation on April 7, 1969.^[2]
  • Tony González was drafted from the Phillies by the San Diego Padres as the 37th pick.^[3]
• December 2, 1968: Billy Cowan was drafted from the Phillies by the New York Yankees in the 1968 rule 5 draft.^[4]
• January 20, 1969: Clay Dalrymple was traded by the Phillies to the Baltimore Orioles for Ron Stone.^[5]

Regular season

1969 was a year of transition for the organization. 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.^[6] 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.^[7]

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. The players were honored on August 5, 1969, at Connie Mack Stadium before the Phillies' game against the San Francisco Giants. Commissioner Bowie Kuhn was on hand to recognize Robin Roberts as the Phillies' greatest player of all time.^[8]

The Phillies recorded four straight complete-game shutouts from August 13 to 16, 1969. The Phillies shutout the Atlanta Braves two games in a row in Atlanta then returned to Philadelphia, where they shut out the Houston Astros in the following two games.^[9]
