Philadelphia Phillies fans are rejoicing as the team is currently on a winning streak reminiscent of their historic 1892 season. The Phillies, who recently swept the Texas Rangers, have matched the 1892 club's record during their last 35 games, with an impressive 29-6 stretch.

During their memorable 1892 season, the team was led by legendary National Baseball Hall of Famers Tim Keefe, Ed Delahanty, and Billy Hamilton. Now, in 2024, the modern-day Phillies have emerged as a force to be reckoned with, demonstrating their prowess on the field.

In the past 35 games, the Phillies have swept an impressive seven out of twelve series played. They also hold the best run differential in Major League Baseball, boasting a +93, which highlights their offensive firepower. The team's lineup has consistently scored the most runs, while their starting pitching staff boasts the best earned run average (ERA), as reported by FanGraphs.

Critics of the Phillies have pointed out that their schedule has been relatively easy, according to ESPN's Relative Power Index. Though this is a fair point, it ultimately holds no significance in the grand scheme of things, as highlighted by renowned baseball journalist Jeff Passan.

The true test for the Phillies will come in October, where their performance in the postseason will determine their ultimate success. Building on their recent World Series appearance in 2022 and National League Championship Series run in 2023, the Phillies are eager to prove themselves as contenders.

Until then, critics will judge their performance against teams with a winning percentage above .500. The Phillies have upcoming series against two such teams, the Milwaukee Brewers (28-21) and the Baltimore Orioles (30-18), scheduled from June 3-5 and June 14-16, respectively.

As the Phillies continue their remarkable run, fans eagerly anticipate each game, hoping that this season will be enshrined in the annals of team history alongside the legendary 1892 campaign. With an electrifying lineup and dominant pitching staff, the Phillies have set their sights on championship glory.
