Timothy Shields follows Phillies history from 1883 to 2011
- 2. Stanford University graduate Timothy Shields currently serves UBS in Chicago in the position of director. Timothy Shields earned an MBA during his time at Stanford. When he is not working, Tim Shields follows Philadelphia sports, particularly the Philadelphia Phillies. The Philadelphia Phillies baseball team is one of the oldest professional sports franchises in the United States. Between 1883 and 1889, the team competed as the Philadelphia Quakers before assuming the current Phillies moniker. Despite the team’s storied history, the Phillies contested 32 seasons before qualifying for the postseason. The Phillies reached the 1915 World Series, falling to the Boston Red Sox in five games.
- 3. Following another three-decade postseason drought, the Phillies made a run to the 1950 World Series, where they were swept in four games by the New York Yankees. The franchise continued its unpredictable results following its second World Series appearance, missing the playoffs for 25 years. The team began its first run of postseason consistency in 1976 with an appearance in the National League Championship Series (NLCS). The Phillies made additional NLCS runs in 1977 and 1978, and in 1979, the team reached a third World Series. The Kansas City Royal defeated the Phillies in six games. Philadelphia made the playoffs in 1981 and 1983, contesting the 1983 World Series against the Baltimore Orioles. Baltimore won in five games.
- 4. Between 1984 and 2006, the Phillies reached the postseason once, resulting in a trip to the 1993 World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays. The Phillies fanbase finally rejoiced in playoff success beginning in 2007. After being swept in a league division series, the Phillies regrouped and made its sixth postseason appearance, finally winning in five games over the Tampa Bay Rays in 2008. The Phillies would lose a six-game World Series the following year to the Yankees. The team made additional playoff runs in 2010 and 2011.
