# 1950 Philadelphia Phillies season

The 1950 Philadelphia Phillies season was the 68th season in the history of the franchise.
The Phillies won the National League pennant by two games over the Brooklyn Dodgers. Nicknamed the "Whiz Kids" because of the youth of their roster, they went on to lose the World Series to the New York Yankees in four straight games.

## Previous off-season

* October 3, 1949: Schoolboy Rowe was released by the Phillies.
* November 17, 1949: Milo Candini was drafted by the Phillies from the Oakland Oaks in the 1949 rule 5 draft.
* Prior to 1950 season: Bob Bowman was signed as an amateur free agent by the Phillies.
On January 10, 1950, owner Bob Carpenter announced that the club had officially abandoned the nickname "Blue Jays" and would be the "Phillies". The club had adopted the nickname in 1944 but it never caught on among fans.

## City Series

The pre-season 1950 City Series was planned for three games prior to Opening Day. Snow flurries and cold weather in Philadelphia caused the cancellation of the first game. The Athletics beat the Phillies 7–4 and the Phillies won the following game 11–2.
