Bradford

For 12 seasons, the Phillies had a Minor League team in this community from 1944-55 in Class D PONYL (Pennsylvania-Ontario-New York League). The club was known as the Blue Wings (1944-49) and Phillies (1950-55). The games were played at Community Park, which was built in 1916. The first-year managers were Ray Brubaker and Ken Blackmon.

Carbondale

The Pioneers were in the Class D North Atlantic League from 1947-50. The league folded after the 1950 season. The manager in the first two seasons was Pat Colgan. Russell Park was the Pioneers’ home. It is currently a public park, the site of the Carbondale Little League and youth soccer fields. Former Phillies GM Ed Wade grew up in Carbondale, was a childhood friend of Colgan’s son, Kevin, and played baseball at Russell Park.

Hazleton

This was the very first Phillies Minor League affiliate from 1934-36. The Mountaineers were one of eight teams in the New York-Penn League, then a Class A League. The games were played at Cranberry Ballpark. Frank Uzmann managed the club that finished seventh. Rounding out the 1934 league were the Binghamton Triplets, Elmira Red Wings, Harrisburg Senators, Reading Red Sox, Scranton Miners, Wilkes-Barre Barons and Williamsport Grays.

The Pennsylvania State Association (Class D) was a league that existed from 1934-42. The Phillies participated for one season in Johnstown in 1939. Dick Goldberg was the manager of the club named the “Johnnies." They played at Point Stadium, which opened in 1905.

The longest affiliation in Triple-A and Double-A are the Phillies and Reading. The Phillies have been there since 1967. Frank Lucchesi was the first manager of the Double-A Eastern League franchise. His pitching staff included Robin Roberts and Dallas Green. FirstEnergy Stadium was built in 1951 and originally named Municipal Stadium in honor of the service men and women who gave their lives for the country.
