In 2004, the Clearwater Threshers were managed by former Phillies player and Hall of Famer, Mike Schmidt. With the move to the new ballpark, the Clearwater Phillies were renamed the "Threshers" and adopted a new team logo and colors. The Phillies planned to leave Jack Russell Memorial Stadium after the 2003 season to move into a new ballpark, Baycare Ballpark, adjacent to the Carpenter Complex, the Phillies' minor league training facility. The club played as the Clearwater Phillies through the 2003 season. The Clearwater Phillies played their first game on April 12, 1985, at home, against the Tampa Tarpons. The Philadelphia Phillies owned the franchise and named the club the Clearwater Phillies. The Clearwater Phillies began play in 1985 after the Philadelphia Phillies ended their affiliation with their High Class A minor league team, the Carolina League Peninsula Pilots, based in Hampton, Virginia, and placed their new team at Jack Russell Stadium. The Florida State League granted the city of Clearwater a franchise on September 26, 1984. The placement of a minor league baseball team would mean the relocation of the Bombers. The Amateur Softball Association Clearwater Bombers had long used Jack Russell Stadium during the summer months when the field would be reconfigured for softball. In July 1982, in a visit to Philadelphia, Clearwater city officials and the president of the Florida State League again asked the Philadelphia Phillies about affiliating with a team to be based in Clearwater. 5 Notable Clearwater Phillies and Threshers alumniĬlearwater city officials approached the Philadelphia Phillies as early as 1981 about locating a Phillies minor league affiliate at Jack Russell Stadium in Clearwater.
