The 1968 Philadelphia Phillies season was a season in Major League Baseball . The Phillies finished eighth in the National League with a record of 76 wins and 86 losses, 21 games behind the NL pennant-winning Cardinals .
Offseason [ edit ] Regular season [ edit ] The Phillies were scheduled to open the 1968 season on April 9, 1968 in Los Angeles . However, Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968, leading to days of national unrest. President Johnson declared Monday, April 8, a national day of mourning, and the funeral was scheduled for April 9. The Dodgers initially refused to postpone the game leading Phillies GM John Quinn and President Bob Carpenter to announce that the Phillies would not play on April 9 even under threat of forfeit. On April 7, Quinn told reporters, "Under the rules, the game can be forfeited and we could be fined. But we have made our final decision. We will not play."[ 4] Warren Giles , the Dodgers eventually agreed and postponed the game.[ 5] Chris Short 2 to 0 shutout of the Dodgers.[ 6]
On July 28, 1968, George Culver of the Cincinnati Reds pitched a 6–1 no-hitter against the Phillies in the second game of a doubleheader at Connie Mack Stadium .[ 7]
