The Philadelphia Phillies are launching a yearlong series focusing on their All-Star history as they prepare to host the 2026 MLB All-Star Game at Citizens Bank Park. The initial installment reflects on the team's one-time All-Stars during the 1980s, a decade marked by significant triumph with a championship in 1980 and a World Series appearance in 1983. However, the latter part of the decade saw the team decline into mediocrity. Al Holland, a relief ace from the 1983 pennant-winning team, is featured in this first part, detailing his journey from college sports to Major League Baseball. Fans can expect further posts on the Phillies' All-Star participation as the series continues.
