March 26th, 1934 - The 1934 Philadelphia Phillies

"At least we're better than the Reds," should have been the motto of the 7th place, 56-93 Phils. In 1934, outfielder Johnny Moore provides what offense exists, and the Phils will always have a chance when Curt Davis starts. Euel Moore and Phill Collins are also good starters. Reliever Syl Johnson rounds out what is good about the Phils pitching staff, however, meaning the the Phils managers have a lot of tough decisions when deciding whether to yank one of those pitchers for a pinch hitter. The best Phils year of the 1930s came in 1932, when they finished fourth. For the rest of the decade, they finished seventh or eighth place ever year.
