1946 Philadelphia Phillies Team Photo Vintage Baseball Collectible
The 1947 Sporting News Baseball Ball Guide features a page dedicated to the Philadelphia Phillies, highlighting their roster from the 1946 season. The team is photographed in matching uniforms that display "Phillies" prominently. The front row includes players such as Newsome, R. Hughes, and Culp, along with coaches Bengough and Perkins. The middle row lists trainer Cooke and players like Northey and D. Moore, while the back row features team members including Stanceu, Mauney, and Ennis. B. Chapman serves as the team's manager. The presence of both players and coaches illustrates the organizational structure of the team, while the publication reflects a critical period in baseball history, post-World War II, when many teams were rebuilding and focusing on player development.
