In their 94th season, the Phillies had their first 100 Win season and captured their first Divisional Championship. Young superstar third-baseman, Mike Schmidt hit 12 home runs in the Phillies first 15 games, including a 4 homer game on April 17th! Steve Carlton posted 20 Wins and a very solid bullpen sent the Phils into their first League Championship Series against the Big Red Machine, but the Phils were sent home without a post season victory, extending their streak of years without a post season win to 61 years.
1976 was the start of a successful period for the Phils who would win 5 Divisions, 2 Pennants and 1 Championship over the an 8 year span.
