The 1933 Philadelphia Phillies season was the team's 51st season in Major League Baseball (MLB).
Regular season
On May 1, 1933, the Phillies celebrated the franchise's fiftieth anniversary. The Phillies welcomed back former players to be introduced and cheered by the crowd, and play a five inning exhibition game prior to their regularly scheduled game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Following the practice of the 1880s before the presence of a home clubhouse, the old timers dressed at The Bellevue-Stratford Hotel and were conveyed by a tallyho and horse-drawn carriages up Broad Street to National League Park accompanied by the Police and Fireman's Bands. Present were former Phillies players of the late 19th century and first decades of the 20th century including John Titus, Roy Thomas, Otto Knabe, Hans Lobert, Kitty Bransfield, Dick Hartley, Mickey Doolan, Red Dooin, Harry Coveleski, Al Maul, Jerry Donovan, George Andrews, Jack Clements, Monte Cross, Jess Pernell, Stan Baumgartner, and Charles Fulmer, who was 82-years old and had played for the 1875 Philadelphia White Stockings in the National Association.[1]
