# 1943 Philadelphia Phillies season

The 1943 Philadelphia Phillies season was the 61st season in the history of the franchise.
Lumber baron William D. Cox purchased the team in 1943. On March 9, Cox announced that the team would officially be called the "Phillies" again after former-President Gerald Nugent had named them "Phils" prior to the 1942 season.
In 1943, the team rose out of the standings cellar for the first time in five years. The fans responded with an increase in attendance. Eventually, it was revealed by Cox that he had been betting on the Phillies, and he was banned from baseball.

## Offseason
### Spring training

The Phillies opened spring training on March 18 in Hershey, Pennsylvania. They used the baseball diamond at Hershey High School.

### Notable transactions

* March 24, 1943: Schoolboy Rowe was purchased by the Phillies from the Montreal Royals. Rowe compiled an impressive 14–8 record with a 2.94 ERA in 27 games. He finished 14th in the 1943 National League MVP voting, higher than any other player on the Phillies club (Babe Dahlgren was 29th).
