The 1980 Philadelphia Phillies season was the team's 98th season in Major League Baseball (MLB) and culminated with the Phillies winning the World Series at home by defeating the Kansas City Royals in game 6 on Oct. 21, 1980.
The team finished with a regular-season record of 91 wins and 71 losses, which was good enough to win the National League East title by just one game over the Montreal Expos . The Phillies went on to defeat the Houston Astros in the NLCS to gain their first NL title since 1950 , and then defeated the Kansas City Royals to win their first World Series Championship.
The 1980 Phillies were known as "The Cardiac Kids" because of the many close games.[1]
Off-season [ ] December 13, 1978: Greg Gross was signed as a free agent by the team.[2]
December 20, 1979: Jerry Willard was signed as an amateur free agent.[3]
March 30, 1980: Dave Rader was traded by the Phillies to the Boston Red Sox for a player to be named later and cash. The Red Sox completed the deal by sending Stan Papi to the Phillies on May 12.[4] Regular season [ ] Season standings [ ]

World Series [ ] Main article: 1980 World Series
When the modern-day World Series began in 1903, the National and American Leagues each had eight teams. With their victory in the 1980 World Series, the Phillies became the last of the "Original Sixteen" franchises to win a Series.[citation needed The 1980 World Series was the first World Series to be played entirely on artificial turf . Prior to 1980, the Phillies hadn't won a World Series game since Game 1 of the 1915 World Series against the Boston Red Sox .
The series offered many intriguing storylines. Phillies pitcher Bob Walk became the first rookie to start the first game of a World Series since Joe Black of the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1952 . The 1980 World Series was the first of numerous World Series that journeyman outfielder Lonnie Smith (then with the Phillies) participated in. He was also a part of the 1982 World Series (as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals ), 1985 World Series (as a member of the Kansas City Royals ), and the 1991 and 1992 World Series as a member of the Atlanta Braves .
Game 6 would be the culmination for the Phillies' first championship. Philadelphia scored two in the third on a Mike Schmidt single. It was all that Steve Carlton and Tug McGraw would need for the 4–1 win. Kansas City threatened by loading the bases in the eighth and the ninth innings before Tug McGraw struck out Willie Wilson for the third out in the final inning.
While Mike Schmidt was the official MVP of the 1980 World Series, the Babe Ruth Award (another World Series MVP) was given to Tug McGraw . As of 2019, this is the last World Series in which both participating franchises had yet to win a World Series in their history. This was the first time that had happened since 1920 .[citation needed
The entire state of Pennsylvania, not just Philadelphia, celebrated the Phillies' win.[28] Dick Thornburgh declared the next day "Philadelphia Phillies Day."[28] [29]
