How did fans respond to Trea Turner returning to the lineup after about a month and a half? Well you have to see the reaction below to believe it. The Phillies went 26-13 while Trea was gone, they stepped up without their starting shortstop but still, we need the guy.
Trea Turner Injury
He has not appeared in a game since May 3rd. He experienced a significant hamstring strain. He missed 38 games for the Phillies back came back with vengence.
On Monday, June 18th, he had two hits in his first game back which is awesome.

Trea Turner Great Season Thus Far
Despite fighting an injury, he still had a really great start to the season. He is batting .345 this season, with ten stolen bases, he is currently sporting a .298 career batting average which is quite amazing.
Not The First Standing Ovation For Turner
If you remember last season, our starting shortstop did not start off in strong fashion as a new member of the Philadelphia Phillies. But, fans decided to try to make him feel a bit better about his performance.
It really did end up turning his year around for the better. Even though the team didn't finish the year like they had hoped, still set the footprint for what would happen this season, a run for the ages (hopefully).
We had a lot of fun at Spring Training in Clearwater, Florida in 2024. Lots of work was done but also lots of fun was had. Including a game we played on our own which was all about finding the best throwback Phillies jersey at the ballpark.
If you can guess the player's name of the last jersey on this list, you are an expert. You win.
As you might imagine, this was not small task at all. We ended up looking all throughout the jersey to find the best ones and we have quite the collection. The fun of this is we are going to let you to guess if you can come up with the first names of each and every jersey we found.

Throwback Phillies Jersey
So what constitutes a throwback in our opinion? It's not about the style of the jersey, only the name on the back. So for example, there's one player below (who I can't name, you've got to guess) who played with the team as early as last year. But now, since he's not longer on the team, we consider his jersey a "throwback."
Let's see how many you can get. Good luck! The last one is the hardest.
Jersey #1
Clues: He played with the Phillies from 2005-2011. He was a two-time All Star. Later played for the Dodgers. Also played for the Red Sox. Brief stint with the Angels
Jersey #2
Clue: Member of the team from 2000-2008. Started his career with the Phillies. Ended his career with Giants. He was s left fielder and DH.
Jersey #3
Clue: This is a second baseman. Six time All Star. Did it five straight years! 2003-2015 tenure with Philly. Ended his career in 2018 with the Dodgers.
Jersey #4
Clue: Played most of his career in Toronto. Four years, his final four in the league, with the Phillies. Eight All Star Game selections, wow. Two Cy Young Awards, that's impressive.
Jersey #5
Clue: Played his whole 13-year career in Philly. Rookie of the Year in 2005. Won the MVP the very next year. World Series champ with our team.
Jersey #6
Clue: Pitched 15 years for the Phillies. Had a 24 year career, which is unheard of really. Do you know who it is? Quite a throwback here for sure.
Jersey #7
Clue: He's a Hall of Famer, no doubt about that. Spent his whole 18-year career with the Phillies. Twelve All Star Games. Then add two MVPs. Pretty amazing player.
Jersey #8
Clue: A little lesser known here I would assume. Only played three of 19 years in the league in Philly. Also played in Settle and Kansas City. Very briefly in New York with the Yankees.
Jersey #9
Clue: We know him and we love him. Before the 2023 season begun, tragedy struck. This poor first basemen hurt his knee during Spring Training and missed all of 2023. He now is a member of the Brewers. He will be missed.
Jersey #10
Clue: 15 year career and ten of them were in Philly. Never won a Cy Young but came close a couple of times. Retired after the 2020 season. Started his career in Philly in 2006
Jersey #11
Clue: Of his 12 years, 11 were with Philly. He was a catcher. Only one All Star Game selection to his name. Two years he batted over .300 for the year including .325 in his All Star season.
Jersey #12
Clue: He started his career with Cleveland. Ended his career with the Phillies. Had a stint in both Texas and Seattle. Won a Cy Young Award. That was his final full year in Cleveland.
Jersey #13
Clue: DEEP CUT. Five year career. All of those five years were with our Phillies. The most games he played in a season was 105. Only two other times he played in more than half of the season's games. This one is a real test.
