Today in Phillies History for November 3rd

It happened on this day in:

1964: Philadelphia voters approve a $25 million bond issue to fund a new baseball/football stadium in south Philly.
1970: One year after getting Curt Flood in a trade with the Cards only to have him declare himself a fee-agent, the Phils traded their rights to Flood to the Senators for C Greg Goosen, P Jeff Terpko, and OF Gene Martin.
2008: Ruben Amaro, Jr. is announced as the Phillies' General Manager. He was an assistant to Pat Gillick, who's contract expired soon after the team's World Series victory.
2022: Noah Syndergaard gave up a couple of early runs to Houston but the bullpen held the line with 1 run over the last 6 innings. It wasn't enough, though, as the Phillies offense only scored 2 runs, one a Kyle Schwarber leadoff homer. The win put the AL champs up 3 games to 2 in the World Series.
2022: Kyle Schwarber led off with a home run but there wasn't much offense the rest of the way for the Phillies, who dropped World Series Game 5 at home by a 3-2 score. Noah Syndergaard's 2 runs over innings didn't seem that hard to overcome, but Justin Verlander and Astros were better.
