Preseason

The Phillies' 1907 spring training was held in Savannah, Georgia where the team practiced and played exhibition games at Bolton Street Park. It was the fourth successive year the Phillies trained in Savannah.

The Phillies named their team of younger players the "Minstrels" in intrasquad games against the regulars in tribute to the contemporaneous anti-Black Minstrel show, popular at the time among the Phillies’ players. [1]

1907 Philadelphia City Series

The Phillies played four of six scheduled games against the Philadelphia Athletics for the local championship in the pre-season city series. The Phillies defeated the Athletics 4 games to 0.
