1959 Philadelphia Phillies season

In early 1959, Phillies owner Bob Carpenter proposed building a new ballpark for the Phillies on {{convert|72|acre|m2}} adjacent to the Garden State Park Racetrack in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Connie Mack Stadium was 50 years old, did not have sufficient parking, and the sale of alcohol was banned at sports venues in Pennsylvania. Beer sales were legal in New Jersey. The proposed ballpark would have seated 45,000 fans, been expandable to 60,000, and would have had 15,000 parking spaces.{{cite news|title=Phillies' Owner Shows Interest in Jersey Land|newspaper=New York Times|date=March 4, 1959|page=37|agency=Associated Press}} The Phillies would eventually move to the South Philadelphia Sports Complex in 1971. On January 13, Carpenter also changed general_managers, replacing Roy Hamey with John J. Quinn, recruited from the defending two-time National League champion Milwaukee Braves.{{cite web|url=https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/77ae10fb|title=John J. Quinn|last=Costello|first=Rory|publisher=Society for American Baseball Research Biography Project|access-date=2 January 2018}} Quinn would run the Phils' front office for almost 14 full seasons.
