1913 Philadelphia Phillies season
The 1913 Philadelphia Phillies season was a season in American baseball. It involved the Phillies competing in the National League and finishing in second place. Off season
On January 15, 1913 it was announced that Pittsburgh Pirates secretary William H. Locke had purchased the Phillies. Locke became the new team president, his cousin, former New York City Police Commissioner William F. Baker assumed the role of Vice President, and his father-in-law Daniel C. Snyder became the club's secretary-treasurer. Regular season 

The Phillies started out with high hopes. They led the National League on June 25 with a 38–17 record. As the Athletics were dominating the American League, the two teams appeared well on their way to meeting in the World Series. But the Phillies lost 13 of their next 16 games to fall into second place, and never recovered. 1913 would mark the closest that the A's and Phillies ever got to meeting in the World Series before the former team moved west. On August 14, 1913, owner William H. Locke died in Ventnor, New Jersey after a long illness. Two months later his widow would sell her shares to William F. Baker, who became the new team president.
