Time is not the same as opportunity.
Days are end date minus start date, including offseasons. Readable durations use completed calendar years, then months, then days. They do not count games played or complete event-free seasons. Personal intervals are between that player's Phillies performances; other players may have qualified in between.
The preserved 1897–2025 batting records supply 27 performances. Manning (1884) and Delahanty (1896) are individually documented additions, not a complete early-franchise census. Forfeited calendar games on June 4, 1897; June 6, 1937 (game 2); and July 18, 1954 (game 2) have no batting rows. Missing observations are not zeroes.
Manning's October 9, 1884 score remains disputed: 7–19 in the calendar and 7–16 in MLB's account. No score is selected here. Original local game dates and doubleheader numbers are retained; suspended games follow source-date attribution. These are not necessarily exact times of feats in resumed play.
No ongoing drought counter is provided. The June 20, 2026 Schwarber performance is a separately corroborated research supplement outside this edition's data, totals and intervals. Complete intervening 2026 coverage has not been qualified.
