About Owner
Alfred Summit is as old-school as the game itself. A Philadelphia native who grew up listening to ballgames on a transistor radio, Summit built his fortune the same way he expects his players to win — with patience, discipline, and a little grit. He believes baseball should be played the right way: strong fundamentals, respect for the uniform, and an unwavering commitment to the team.
Now at the helm of the Philadelphia Baseball Club, Summit has made it his mission to restore pride to the city’s diamond. He’s a hands-on owner who still keeps a scorebook by hand and insists on shaking the manager’s hand after every series. Around the league, he’s known as a throwback — a man who measures success not by payrolls or analytics, but by heart, hustle, and the sound of a well-hit ball on a summer night.

About Franchise
In Philadelphia, baseball isn’t just a game — it’s a heartbeat echoing through generations. From the hum of factory shifts to the cheers that spill down Broad Street, this city has always loved its fighters. The Philadelphia Baseball Club was born from that same grit — a team built on hard work, second chances, and the belief that toughness can’t be taught.
Under the leadership of lifelong baseball man Alfred Summit, the club stands as a bridge between eras. Summit believes in handshakes over spreadsheets, dirt-stained uniforms over press conferences, and the timeless rhythm of a well-pitched duel under summer lights. To him, the game doesn’t need reinventing — it just needs remembering.
Every player who pulls on the Philadelphia jersey knows what it means: you play for the city, for the fans, and for the name stitched across your chest. No shortcuts. No excuses. Just baseball — pure, proud, and unmistakably Philly.
