As the Philadelphia Phillies prepare to take on the Atlanta Braves, let’s take a look back at the team’s last 10 July 4th games and see how the team fared.

Ah the 4th of July, a day of celebration, family, friends, barbecue, and for fans of the Philadelphia Phillies – or of Major League Baseball in general – it’s a day to look forward to each year.

With the majority of fans off work, baseball has made it a tradition to play a slew of games in virtually every market, and this year is no exception.

Games played on the 4th just seem to have a different feeling to them, a feeling of patriotism. For whatever reason, the hot dogs just seem to taste better, the beer just feels more refreshing, and baseball as a whole just feels that much more entertaining.

And with 12 games to choose from, baseball fans should prepare themselves for a wonderful day.

With Zach Eflin set to make his 4th of July debut, fans in the 215 should be in for a real treat at 7:20 pm EST as the team takes the field at SunTrust Park for their third straight game in as many days.

So this year, as the Phillies’ prepare to step on the field with stars and stripes on their caps to face off against the 51-36 Atlanta Braves, let’s take a look back at the past decade of 4th of July baseball in Philadelphia and see how the team fared.
