Philadelphia Phillies Tickets

2010 Philadelphia Phillies MLB Preview:
For diehard baseball fans, November through March can be the longest months of the year - and for fans of the Philadelphia Phillies, the offseason was likely one of the more tedious in recent history.

After battling to a World Series Championship in 2008, the Phils came close to an encore performance last season, winning the National League East Division for the third straight year, claiming the NL title for the second consecutive season, and coming just games of capturing another World Series victory.

While their championship defense came to a bitter end last year, manager Charlie Manuel ended the season by saying that the Phightin' Phillies would be back in 2010 to make another run at the title, giving fans plenty of reason to head to the ballpark this summer.

When Philadelphia takes the field this season, a few new faces will greet the fans. Roy Halladay, a former Cy Young award winner and one of the most dominating pitchers over the past few years, will take the mound for the squad this year.

In addition, the Phillies welcome back third-baseman Placido Polanco to join All-Star infielders Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley and Ryan Howard.
