[edit] Offseason
- December 6, 1973: Denny Doyle was sent by the Phillies to the California Angels, and Aurelio Monteagudo and Chris Coletta were sent by the Angels to the Phillies to complete an earlier deal (the Phillies sent a player to be named later to the Angels for players to be named later and Billy Grabarkewitz) made on August 14.[1]
- December 19, 1973: Tony Taylor was signed as a free agent by the Phillies.[2]
[edit] Regular season
- June 10, 1974: Mike Schmidt hit what many felt should have been a home run when the ball hit the public address speaker that hung 117 feet above and 329 feet away from home plate at the Astrodome in Houston. The ball hit the speaker, fell to the field, and, by the Astrodome's ground rules, remained in play. Since Schmidt had already started his slow home run trot, he was held to a single. (There were runners on first and second when the ball was hit, and they each advanced only one base.) Many experts agree the ball would have traveled in excess of 500 feet.[citation needed]
