The Phillies are a member of the Eastern Division of Major League Baseball's National League. The franchise was founded in Philadelphia in 1883, replacing the team from Worcester, Massachusetts in the National League. Team nicknames are Phils, The Fightin' (or Phightin') Phils, The Fightin's (or Phightin's). The rivalry between the New York Mets and the Phillies is said to be among the "hottest" rivalries in the National League. The rivalry between the Phillies and the Pittsburgh Pirates was considered by some to be one of the best rivalries. The Phillies have won two World Series championships (against Kansas City in 1980 and Tampa Bay in 2008) and seven National League pennants, the first of which came in 1915.
